FEATURES AND OPTIONS (CON.)

●Tank Drain System: All tanks have overflow stand pipes that continuously carry modulating water to the drain with- out drain valving. To drain the tank quickly, one to three drains are supplied, depending on the tank length and tank size. Additional tank drains, controlled by gate valves, empty into the tank drain header pipe. The header pipe, made of rigid PVC with demented fittings, is attached to the base frame and slopes toward the extruder.

The large drain size provides unrestricted water flow to the plant drains or plant water recovery system.

●Casters and Wheels: The tank base is supported at all four corners by vee grooved casters. Plain wheels are available.

●Leveling Jacks: After positioning the tank, it is necessary to anchor the tank against line forces. Two leveling jacks (floor locks) are provided on one side of the base, effective- ly anchoring the tank in place.

●Vertical Adjustment System: The tank support system is moved vertically up and down on each end to position the centerline and to level the horizontal plane. The cradle car- rying the tank rests on micro-height adjusting plate at each end. The cradle is caged axially by angles welded to the micro-height plates. The small handwheel horizontally mounted to each micro-height plate engages a worm gear to drive a vertically mounted threaded rod. When the hand- wheel is rotated, that end of the tank is moved up or down. The adjustment is self locking.

●Horizontal Adjustment Option: To allow side-to-side positioning, the sides of the cradle are moved away from the tank. Rotation of knobs, which drive threaded blocks beneath the tank, moves the tank side to side.

●Axial Adjustment Option: This option allows you to move the tank backward and forward (longitudinally) in a precise manner, with positive locking at any position. The tank is supported on caged solid rollers running in short tracks to allow easy movement. Rotation of the large hand- wheel produces axial motion of the tank, depending on the status of the detent arm. When the detent is disengaged, the shaft is free to turn and the tank will move toward the puller. When the detent is pushed in and engaged, the one way locking action of the bearing on the shaft prohibits shaft rotation and the tank is locked in position. The detent must be removed if tank movement toward the puller is desired.
