A guessing game...

[rickzeien]

I thought maybe a guessing game would be fun.

As I build out the "mystery" item we could see if curiosity would get the best of us.

I will answer questions but not the ones that ask outright what is?

This process will take awhile so check back often.

Never seen one... but I'm thinking a dispenser for the various ingredients of flux.

... and I'm probably totally wrong as I'm guessing early on.

I get a real buzz from good quality engineering.

All finished and painted. Just need the guards and installation. More to come....

Same here, I really enjoy seeing things built from scratch, especially when they work.

Update: Rotary airlocks are installed on both ends of a cooling/conveyor (also an airlock) coming out of the baghouse and on the unloading end of the conveyor.

Very nice setup.

We used large rotary airlocks (which also had planer blades), after the belt feeders to pass woodchips and other log-fuels into the piping to be blown up into the fuel storage silo's by a large air compressor blowers, in order to store fuel the wood-fired boilers.

we also had roto locks after the ash precipitators to feed the hot ash into bins (keeping the hot gases in the system...

It is free here on the forum: Screen Readable Copy of Hoke's Book
2. Then read the safety section of the forum: Safety
3. And then read about "Dealing with waste" in the forum: Dealing with Waste

Suggested reading: The Library
