Abstract: A process for the preparation of a shaped MOF, the process comprising: providing a first reactant comprising at least one metal in ionic form and a second reactant comprising at least one organic ligand capable of associating with said metal in ionic form, and optionally a solvent; allowing the first and second reactants to react to form a MOF; and forming a shaped body directly from the mixture of step b) using an extruder or continuous kneader; wherein the initial ratio of the at least one metal in ionic form to the at least one organic ligand is controlled such that shaped bodies having a minimum defined crush strength are formed without the use of an external binder or lubricant.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material. The stacker may include a linear conveyor having a rear portion including a hopper, and a front portion, the conveyor being designed to carry bulk material along an elevating path from a low position adjacent the rear portion to a higher position adjacent the front portion. The hopper may be pivotally mounted to the conveyor at a pivot point, with at least one hopper arm extending between the hopper and the conveyor rearward of the pivot point. The at least one hopper arm may include at least one hopper hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract the effective length of the hopper arm to raise and lower a rear end of the hopper to modify a degree of elevation of the hopper.

Abstract: A mobile radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material is provided that includes a stacker frame, a linear conveyor mounted to the frame, the conveyor having a rear portion and a front portion and being designed to carry bulk material from a lower position adjacent the rear portion to a raised position adjacent the front portion, and a pair of wheels mounted to the frame to facilitate movement of the stacker around a work site or to another work site. Also provided is a pivot pad/king pin apparatus mounted to the stacker including an integral king pin and pivot pad that may be displaced from a first position with the king pin facing downward for engagement with a tractor fifth wheel to a second position with the pivot pad facing downward for placement on the ground for radial conveying operations. Another way to describe the depicted embodiments is a pivot pad/king pin apparatus that may be used with a radial stacker. The apparatus may include a body with a king pin and pivot pad integrally mounted into it.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a generally cylindrical bowl support for a cone crusher which includes a plurality of evenly, circumferentially spaced ears around the periphery of the support. The ears are designed to have clamping cylinders mounted thereto to provide protection from tramp iron and the like passing through the cone crusher. A plurality of thickened ribs are defined in the support, at least some of the thickened ribs extending downwardly from the ears to form abutting polygon configurations to spread and absorb forces from a crushing operation. Other ones of the ribs define at least one circumferentially-extending, continuous ring forming portions of the polygons.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include a stacker for stockpiling bulk material. The stacker may include a linear conveyor having a rear portion including a hopper, and front portion, the conveyor being designed to carry bulk material along an elevating path from a low position adjacent the rear portion to a higher position adjacent the front portion. At least one leg may be mounted to the frame below the hopper, the at least one leg may include a hydraulic jack for increasing and decreasing the effective length of the leg, thereby raising and lowering the rear portion of the conveyor to increase and decrease a degree of elevation of the path. The hopper may be pivotally mounted to the conveyor, with hydraulic cylinders mounted thereto in order to raise and lower an end of the hopper to alter a degree of inclination of the hopper. Means may also be provided for maintaining the hopper in a horizontal disposition regardless of the degree of elevation of the conveyor.

Abstract: A rock crusher is provided that has a crusher cavity defined between a first part and a second part. A plurality of hydraulic cylinders are mounted between the first and second part, the hydraulic cylinders including a relief system. The relief system is included for reducing oil pressure within the hydraulic cylinders in the event uncrushables enter the crusher cavity, the relief system including a relief valve that is designed to open when hydraulic pressure in hydraulic cylinder reaches a predetermined level. This reduces the pressure in the hydraulic cylinder as oil pressure is dumped from the hydraulic cylinder via various oil passages.

Abstract: A tracked mobile radial stacker is provided that includes a conveyor having a rear end with a pivot pad, a 5th wheel connection, a hopper for receiving bulk material to be stacked, and a forward portion designed to discharge the bulk material to form a stack. Also included are a continuous track mounted to a frame, and a pair of pivotable wheels mounted to the frame, the pivotable wheels being pivotable between raised and lowered positions and being radially disposed when in the lowered position. An arm may be mounted between the frame and the forward portion of the conveyor, the arm having an underside. A bogey may be mounted to the underside of the arm, the bogey including a plurality of longitudinally-disposed bogey wheels.

Abstract: A tracked, portable radial stacker for stockpiling bulk material is provided.
