Conveyers
Conveying machinery is now to be found in successful operation in mills, mines, breweries, packing-houses, sugar refineries, coal-yards, boat-landings, brick, tile, and stone yards, in some machine-shops, but in very few foundries. The increasing demand for moulding machinery has made it absolutely necessary that some form of conveyer be used in the foundry, not only to carry the enormous quantity of sand used to the moulders, but to carry it hence from off the foundry floor to be tempered and screened for use, and by this means utilize the space for moulds that would otherwise be required for storing and mixing sand. The endless open-trough conveyer, made of roller carrier chain, or some of the many forms of spiral conveyers, are eminently adapted for this purpose.
