January, 1934
A 1934 Coal Preparation Programme
In anticipation that the present indications of trade revival will be confirmed during the present year the Birtley Co. Ltd. have concluded a number of arrangements with other firms and have completed some interesting developments as regards their own research department. Their testing and experimental plant devoted to coal and coal-dust preparation is now claimed to be the finest in the country and enables tests to be carried out at capacities up to 80 tons per hour. In addition to their own Birtley patents and the Arms and the American Clean Coal Corporation's patents, this firm has now made arrangements to operate the European rights of the Peale Davis patents, and is thus in a strong position to give the best of service to the industry. Also arrangements have been completed whereby the experience of the Robert & Schaefer Company, of Chicago, with regard to skip hoisting, Special types of screening apparatus and the Kleen-Block briquetting process will be made available to them. As further activities the Birtley Company will now undertake the manufacture of Redler conveyors and elevators under licence and also the Morison-Leonard anti-breaker. A new type of plant for dry-cleaning fine coal dust will be put on the market early in 1934, and arrangements have been made to enable the company to erect combined wet and dry cleaning plants, the washery side of the business having recently been enlarged.
