The 'En-Masse' Principal

The principles upon which Redler machines operate are different from any other equipment used for the same purposes, but in actual fact are merely practical applications of natural laws.

Materials of powdered, granular, flaky or small lumpy formation, such as grain, coal, cement, are caused to flow like a liquid through enclosed dust-tight casings in any required direction by means of haulage chain with skeleton type flights, and in such a manner that there is no pressure on the materials, no movement between the particles and con­sequently no breakage whilst in transit.

The closely spaced chain flights which constitute the conveying element travel through the enclosed casing wherever it may lead, and materials admitted into this casing travel quiescently with the chain up to the point of discharge.

There is no dragging or scraping action as the material simply ”flows” in a solid column ‘‘en-masse.”

A single Redler machine can be designed to convey horizontally, vertically, inclined or round curves, on a single plane. One machine therefore can often take the place of two or even three machines of other types.

As the material flows in a placid column without movement between the par­ticles, there is practically no breakage of even the most fragile material.

Redler machines are self-feeding and choking cannot take place as once the casing is filled no more material can enter.

All types of Redler Conveyors or ELEVEYORS can be designed to feed or dis­charge not only at the terminal ends, but at any point in the conveying or elevat­ing run.

Redler machines do not require deep intake pits, will handle from a few kilogrammes up to hundreds of tonnes per hour, and are reasonable in first cost, low in power consumption and low in maintenance costs.
