... Two product collector harvesting methods have been developed: a bake-out oven with a gravity-assisted product dump at 500 °C, and a product collector harvesting tool that has a rotating multibladed tool used for grinding out product at room temperature. The cathode processor treated 40 driver batches, 14 blanket batches, and 8 cladding hull batches.
