ABSTRACT:
A tower-type malthouse is disclosed having a central column about which an arm rotates for performing selected operations. A sleeve is coupled to the arm for rotation therewith. The sleeve has a plurality of grooves, each of which fixedly receives one end of a separate duct or cable for carrying electrical current or fluids to the arm for performing the selected operations. The duct or cable is wound up in the groove and unwound therefrom depending on the directional rotation of the arm. Each duct or cable is engageable with a set of pulleys, and a counterweight is connected to one of the pulleys in the set to maintain the duct or cable under tension. The counterweight takes up the differences of lengths of the duct or cable as it is wound or unwound in the groove of the sleeve dependent upon the directional rotation of the arm.
