Abstract

A coke oven charging device for supplying coal to the charging chutes on the roof of a coke oven battery of a plurality of horizontally arranged coke ovens, comprises a horizontally disposed circulator conveyor supported on the roof at a spaced location thereabove and having a plurality of longitudinal and transversely spaced closable discharge openings. The conveyor is advantageously mounted for some displaceable movement on the roof. In addition, a charging car is movable on the roof over the coke ovens and it includes a closed transfer conveyor mounted on the car which is disposed along the length of the car. The car is advantageously provided with a plurality of coal transfer connections which makes it possible to connect the car and its conveyor to a selected opening of the circulating conveyor and to a selected chute for the transfer of the coal from the circulating conveyor through the car conveyor and into the coke oven battery. With the inventive method, a charging coal is continuously circulated in a path extending over all of the ovens. A moving charging car having a car conveyor is moved over the ovens to a selected location and is connected between the circulating conveyor and a car conveyor and a transfer connection to the charging chute for the delivery of coal from the circulating conveyor to the coke ovens.
