BRC-25-5280: Bridge Crane; this is a S-ton, top-running, single-girder bridge crane
used for the following functions:
- opening and closing cargo-container lids (if used),
- transferring frames and full containers from the off-loading conveyors to the floor,
- removing full containers from their frames and placing them either in cargo
containers or on pallets, and
-
placing empty frames back on the off-loading conveyors.
Lifting frame: This is a structural-steel frame sized for a 96-CF Lift LinerTM, and
manufactured by Transport Plastics, Inc. (or equivalent); it is used in conjunction with
the Bridge Crane.

3.1.3 Miscellaneous Equipment
SSS-84-5252A&B: Packaging Samplers A&B. The samplers are pneumatically
actuated inline thief samplers that periodically extend into the flow stream and capture
falling material. Material is transferred through the sampling tube using an auger
mechanism. The material is deposited into a sample container attached to the sampling
tube. After sample collection, the tube is retracted from the stream back into the
sampler housing.
0 NOZ-25-5260A&B: Discharge Chute Assembly A&B. The chute assemblies are
conduits for conditioning and transferring material from the Feed Conveyor to the
Package Loading Stands' fill heads. Each assembly consists of three sections: a
transition section connected to the conveyor, an intermediate spool section, and a
nozzle section that attaches to the packaging station. An internal inverted cone in the
nozzle section provides flow enhancement to improve wetting by the conditioning
agents. These agents are introduced into the fill system via nozzles located around the
perimeter of the nozzle section and under the inverted cone.
0 EAR-25-5290A&B: Packaging Station Exhaust Registers A&B. These are louvered
rectangular type units located near the fill heads. The registers are connected to the
PVS.
RDR-05-5912, -5914, and -5916: Roll-up Doors 007G, -007F, and 007E,
respectively. These are steel, overhead, surface-mounted rolling door units, with
guides at jambs set back a sufficient distance to clear the openings. Curtains are
fabricated, flat, interlocking slat panels that roll up on a barrel supported at the head of
the opening.
