Abstract: A device for increasing the interior surface of a compact coke charge in a receiving trough, which device increases the interior surface of a coke cake or coke leaving the coking chamber by mechanically breaking apart or roughening it, resulting in a break-up of the coke structure and the formation of crevice-type cavities in the compacted coke charge so that an increased amount of water can flow into the interior of the coke charge during the subsequent quenching step through these crevices, resulting in a high profitability of the method due to reduced quenching times and lower water consumption. A method for increasing the interior surface of a compact coke charge in a receiving trough, which serves to break up a fresh coke cake or to roughen the coke in order to reduce water consumption during quenching is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for pressing coke out of an oven chamber of a coke oven, comprising an axially movable pressing rod and a pressing head arranged on the pressing rod at the end of the pressing rod. According to the present disclosure, the pressing head is supported on the pressing rod in such a way that the pressing head can be rotated about a horizontal axis. Furthermore, a swiveling device is provided in order to swivel the pressing head about the horizontal axis and thereby to adjust the vertical orientation of the pressing head to a possible inclined oven position of the oven chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for charging the chambers of a coke oven with compacted coal. The method includes placing a plurality of adhesion reduction particles onto a coke oven charging plate, the particles being configured to reduce at least one of adhesion forces and friction forces present between the charging plate and compacted coal to be loaded thereon, loading compacted coal onto the charging plate, moving the charging plate loaded with compacted coal to the coke oven chamber, and slidably removing the compacted coal from the charging plate such that the compacted coal is disposed in the coke oven chamber. The device comprises a metal plate configured to load compacted coal into the coke oven, a plurality of adhesion reduction particles affixed to the metal plate by an adhesive layer, and a device used to move the metal plate to a front of the firing chamber of the coke oven.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for filling a horizontal flue coking oven. According to the invention, spinning cells are introduced into the furnace chamber for filling, which comprise a discharge element rotating about a vertical axis. The bulk material is charged onto the spinning cells and the bulk material distributed in the furnace chamber as a result of the rotation of the discharge element. The surface of the bulk material is subjected to a subsequent raking process.

Abstract: The device relates to a device for leveling the coal filled in the retort of a coke oven, comprising a leveler bar (2) connected with a leveler bar drive (1) that can be moved into and out of the retort (4) through a leveling opening (3), and performs a leveling movement back and forth in the retort (4). According to the invention, the leveler bar (2) has a rake blade (5) on its front end with a width that can be adjusted by an operating device (6) arranged in the leveler bar (2).
