ABSTRACT:
Similar to a paddle wheel, a rotary magazine for storing and conveying articles is mounted to turn about a horizontal axis and has radially extending vanes spaced around and fixed to the periphery of a central cylinder. At an accessible region an article is loaded axially into the space between an adjacent pair of vanes. It is kept from falling out by support from a cylindrical surface separate from the magazine and spaced slightly beyond the outermost tips of the vanes. The surface partially encircles the magazine from its lowermost region up to the level where the article will not fall out. A single ejector ejects in the axial direction each article in turn as rotation of the magazine carries it from the loading region to an ejection location.
Optionally, an article can be treated, e.g. cooled, heated, irradiated, etc. in a treating chamber located on the path between loading region and ejection location. A sensor examining the treated article detects whether treatment was satisfactory or not and then either permits or prevents continued travel of the article to its final destination. A typical use is for conveying and pre-heating ingots destined to supply a melting furnace.
