A connecting plate is positioned within and nonrotatably secured to each housing section. Each connecting plate includes planar faces that engage corresponding planar faces provided on the end of the respective intermediate drive shaft. With the intermediate drum sections assembled on the drive shafts, the connecting plates are nonrotatably connected to the drive shafts to transmit rotation from the drive shafts to the housing sections to rotate the intermediate drum section. Pairs of connecting plates are releasably connected to one another surrounding the drive shafts to facilitate efficient assembly and disassembly of the intermediate drum section.
