Ice Cutting and ManufactureIce The push-bar conveyor has probably been more usedfor the handling of ice than for any other commodity,largely because it is the type conveyor most adaptedto such a light article and one that slides so of the simple construction of this conveyorit is less aflfected by being continuously exposed to theweather than the more highly developed types of car-riers. Such a conveyor is extensively used for storinglake ice after cutting, in which service it fills the doublepurpose of both elevating and conveying the cakes ofice from water level to storage house. This conveyormakes an excellent car loading system both for icingrefrigerator cars or loading cars of ice for Httle driving power is required to operate theconveyor in handling ice. It is customary for this work to use either wood orsteel angle push-bars with plain steel or malleablechain running in an angle track or on steel or wood. Loading Four Cars at Once mediate discharge at the various car doors is usuallyaccomplished by manual handling. In the case of icestorage houses, however, the ice is often dischargedthrough openings in the runway formed by hingingdown a section of the runway bed. With such a con-veyor the chain and push-bars are ordinarily returnedoverhead to avoid conflict with the cakes of ice dis-charging through the runway. Soaps—GreasesBoxes—Cartons—Cases For handling fairly light packages with surfacessmooth enough to slide easily on the wood or steelrunway, the double strand push-bar conveyor forms asimple and satisfactory carrier. For the long runs inwhich this type of conveyor is so often used it pos-sesses a decided advantage in that the weight of the
