cessiblc and adjustable, which permit
the chain of the loading as well as OF
the discharge end of the soaker to al
ways hang perpendicular. and thus
justments of the brushing table OF
connecting chains. The slack end OF
the chain Is always In open view out
side and not inside the tank, so that
the operator can easily make any nee.
essary adjustment.
The tanks are built integral and OF
the best quarterback tank steel.
Handling Bottles.
Bottles returned from customers OF
bottles from the bottle storage ware
house are sent into this machine by
gravity conveyors, where they are
loaded into the open pockets of the
sOaker. During the operation Of the
machine the bottles are carried into
tank No. , In which u solution Oi
caustic soda Is placed and the tenn
perature of the vater in this compart.
ment Is heated to 1860 degrees effectel
by coils and electors which are placed
In the lower part of the compartment
with inlets on top and eXhausts al
bottom and are protected by stee
plates to prevent the labels from stick
ing 10 and being baked on the pipes
The temperature Is controlled by
means of needle valves on the coils
As the chain continues to revOlve tn,
bottles are carried through compart
ment No. ! for a period OF seven min
utes; they are then carried over Il
tank No. 2. in which temperature o
1870 degrees Is maintained, where the,
are also soaked for seven minutes
they are then carried into compart
ment No. 3, In which n temperature
Of about so degrees is maintained.
The chains on which the pocket'
are fastened are all extra heavy Whit
ney chains of equal pitch and size
This chain has made worldwide
reputation for its accuracy and dura
bility.
Carriers.
The open pocket carriers are madI
of the best mallcable steel, cast int
gral with ribbed brackets, The from
and rear walls of the carrier are mad,
OF 14-gauge special rolled steel an,
punched with longitudinal slots to al
| low fun play of the solution aroun,
the bottles while the same are sub
merged. The divisions for individual
bottles are made of the same mate
rial. The carrier Is always open a
the top and bottom, so that the label
removed by the agitated solution ar,
not obstrncted on their way out Of tn,
carrier; consequently there Is at tn,
discharge point not Il single lapel oi
either the bottle or the carrier. Thi
advantage Is recognized feature o
the Goldman soaker.
The opening ana closing movement
of the bar that holds the bottles II
the pockets Is assisted by gravity So
that is. by the weight of the rod
whilst the same gravity prevents tn,
accidental opening of the c)ver In til,
reverse position.
Cleansing Bottles.
After the bottles are placed In tn
pockets by the operator the chail
moves upward before entering tanl
No. |, where this bar comes in con
tact with a l5-inch round disc. whlcl
automatically releases the bar an
locks the bottles in the pockets. OF
leaving compartment No. 3 the peck
cts are automatically opened by
similar disc and the bottles discharg
ed onto u 7-inch brushing table, wher
they are pushed over a set of roller
which revolye the bottles under grea
speed under two rows of heavy brstl
D., brushes, which are continually KEEP
wet by the addition of, fresh water
They are then pushed out upon
slightly inclined apron, where the
