Abstract: A system for transferring a steel slab from a first roller table to a second roller table by lifting the top slab from a stack of slabs on the first table, and then transferring and lowering the slab onto the second table. Specifically, a gantry-type bridge trolley mechanism having suspended electromagnets is provided that is motor driven on a cantilevered runway over the slab unpiler table and the furnace table. A stabilizer system minimizes sway of the electromagnets and the slabs.

Abstract: There is disclosed a screening assembly for separating fines from a miscella stream including same and comprised of a screening element angularly disposed in a housing assembly beneath an inlet conduit means and over a miscella collection zone.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved wheel housing assembly comprised of a wheel, a wheel axle and an axle housing wherein the wheel axle is formed of wheel and housing shaft portions with the axis of the wheel shaft portion being parallel to and slightly displaced or offset from the axis of the housing shaft portion whereby rotation of the housing shaft portion within a housing member permits the wheel shaft portion to be rotated about the axis of the housing shaft portion thereby to permit elevational adjustment of the wheel of the wheel assembly with respect to the horizontal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a rotor assembly for a rotary solvent extractor comprised of segmental inner, outer and side wall assemblies provided with positioning elements for facile field erection on support beams with the segmental inner, outer and side cell walls being prefabricated and shipped in stacked relationship to the job site for field erection.

Abstract: There is disclosed a manifold assembly for a rotary solvent extractor formed of an elongated fluid distribution trough or conduit divided into a plurality of fluid distribution subsections by intermediate gate members wherein each fluid distribution subsection is in fluid communication with a fluid supply conduit. A deflector plate is disposed therebelow beneath a manifold assembly to permit for the adjustment of the angle of fluid discharge.
