Abstract: A centrifugal dryer that has improved throughput capacity resulting from the combination of a high angle agglomerate catcher with optional overflow, increased dewatering capacity, a cylindrical dewatering feed chute, a modified rotor design with positionally and structurally modified lifters in the feed and dewatering section, the drying and propagating section, as well as the pellet discharge section, and an efficient circumferential foraminous membrane.

Abstract: A spring for radially biasing a slidable vane in an air motor vane slot includes two torsion coils, an offset base member connecting the coils and curved arm members extending from the coils. The offset base member reduces stress and allows a higher profile vane to be used. The arc shaped arm members redistribute wear or contact points and also allow a higher profile vane.

Abstract: A portable rock drill rig includes a pair of telescoping struts for supporting and positioning a mast or feed beam. The struts are connected at their upper ends to a support bracket which is connected to an elongated mast support member by a hydraulic cylinder to provide relative sliding movement between the bracket and support member. The drill rig includes a crawler undercarriage having spaced apart and pivotally mounted crawler assemblies. The lower ends of the struts are each connected to an arm which is fixed to the main frame of the undercarriage. The arms are also connected to respective track oscillation cylinders. The mounting arrangement of the struts provides for improved positioning of the mast for drilling, tramming and transport operations.
