A further long scraper conveyor ran over the middle of the top of the box to allow the coal to be evenly distributed.

Another steel scraper conveyor transported coal required for the Lancashire boilers.

Coal was brought from the mine by a scraper conveyor and fed slowly in, and was pushed forward by a movement of the fire-bars.

Fuel was moved by belt bucket and scraper conveyors to the fuel bunkers, then delivered to the boilers by mechanical spreader stokers.

Another important assistance for the boilers was the installation of a steel scraper conveyor from the south-west corner of the 10 tons holding box under the shaker screens to the fire-holes of the boilers.

Periodically the settled solids at the bottom of the recycling tank are removed from the tank with an automatic scraper conveyor system or by other means such as a wheel loader, an excavator with bucket or a vacuum truck.
