Abstract: A fresh air intake system for overburden drills with an air intake assembly mounted along the drill mast to access air at the greatest practical height above ground, an air filter assembly, and a pressure blower/circulating fan assembly to supply the cleanest air practicable into the operator's cab under positive pressure. The height of the drill mast is utilized to access cleaner air at greater heights, with the air inlet located strategically toward the top of the mast. The intake assembly includes a rain cap, an intake tube mounted along the drill mast, and a flexible section at the drill mast pivot point to accommodate raising and lowering of the mast without interference or obstruction. The air filter assembly is mounted in series with the pressure blower/circulating fan assembly, which operates with negative inlet pressure and supplies filtered air under positive pressure into the enclosed cab.
Abstract: A multi-operation wafer baking system includes a chassis; a wafer loading device mounted on the chassis for laterally moving a wafer; a cruciform transportation device mounted on the chassis for receiving a wafer from the wafer loading device and including a base, an elevation platform, and a rotation platform mounted on the elevation platform and having four carrier arms for carrying wafers; an annular baking device mounted on the chassis to oppose the cruciform transportation device and including a central turn table, a plurality of wafer racks, and a plurality of baking tray assemblies functioning to receive wafers from corresponding wafer racks for performing a baking operation on the wafer; and an unloading device mounted on the chassis for receiving baked wafers. This system allows for baking wafers in a multi-operation manner to thereby improve throughput.
