Coal Bunker Slicer
Coal Bunker Slicer
(OP)
We have two slicers that we use to break up coal in our coal bunkers. The slicer plate is dropped onto the coal in the coal bunker. The slicer consists of a thick steel plate, roughly 24" x 18" x 4", attached to a wire rope (about 1/2" diameter). The wire rope runs from an air operated Ingersoll Rand winch mounted on a moveable base, and then up and over a 6 foot tall A-Frame mounted to the same base. The slicer plate is raised by the winch, and then dropped again to break up the coal. I believe the slicers are original from circa 1950, but I can't find any company name on them. They don't appear to be "home-made". Do you know any company that made such a device?
