OVERHEAD RAIL [2 records]

Record 1 2000-09-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hoisting and Lifting
CONT

When they're closed, the gates are completely submerged - so Bramon has to lift them with a pair of motorized, two-ton hoists on an overhead rail. Each gate is more than 17 feet long and almost 5 feet tall, so the Snake River brings an enormous amount of force to bear when they're submerged.

CONT

Light weight overhead rail system and hoist for moving samples for heat treatment.

  • Levage
CONT

[...] la production d'un brassin est de 200 litres (2 hectolitres pour les mordus). Le couvercle de la cuve matière s'enlève complètement. Cela permet, entre autres, de la nettoyer et de la stériliser. Un palan électrique suspendu sur un rail aérien permet aux costauds brasseurs de faire ces opérations sans effort.
