Design and Function
Sample Release Lever
Each conveyor chain link has its own sample release lever (Figure 5.11/1) to hold the
sample in place. This lever is pressed to its home position by a spring which is placed
inside each conveyor chain link. Each conveyor chain link has a small hole (Figure 5.11/
2), into which the sample release lever (Figure 5.11/3) fits. When the conveyor chain link
is positioned above the BST, the sample release lever is led through the opening in the
conveyor chain link and thus releases the sample. The sample falls through the con-
veyor chain link into the magnet.
