Support & Lifting Mechanism
The support and lifting assembly is solidly constructed of structural steel sections and heavy steel plate to provide exceptional strength and minimum vibration. The sinker block can be removed from the zinc by rotating a hand wheel that drives a heavy duty reduction gearbox. A locking mechanism is provided to dampen vibration and prevent accidental position changes.

Sinker Block
The sinker block is fabricated of high strength wear resistant ceramic material that is designed to provide a long life under normal operating conditions. The block is cast as a single piece with clamping taper, neck and body designed to suit the application. The radiused surface of the sinker is constructed with individual wire grooves to maintain the position and spacing of the wires.
