Abstract: A transport device for the transfer of a workpiece carrier from a container for a first bath to a container for a second bath has a vertical sliding carriage. To this vertical sliding carriage at least one pivot arm is arranged, which carries the workpiece carrier to be transferred. The pivot range of the workpiece carrier is located exclusively below the pivot axis. By means of that a miminum possible transfer time is achieved.
Abstract: A device for the drying of small pieces has a barrel rotatable about a horizontal central longitudinal axis. So as to produce a uniform air flow over the full length of the barrel, a transverse-flow blower is provided, of which the rotor wheel has a length about equalling the length of the barrel and of which the axis of rotation extends parallel to the axis of the barrel.
