Abstract: An energy-saving charge transport system in a press-furnace line, for articles to be baked from the press to the furnace and for articles baked to a finished product storage area, having two levels of a heat tunnel, wherein articles to be baked are arranged on empty transport pallets in two trains of the press, two heat recovery tunnels, the right heat recovery tunnel and the left heat recovery tunnel are situated under the furnace and outside said furnace, the furnace comprises inside two on the contrary movable tracks for articles to be baked, each of the heat recovery tunnel having a down level for baked articles and an upper level for raw articles, said baked and raw articles moveably on the contrary directions, said levels arranged respectively with the right train of the press and the left train of the press, a first actuator cyclically pushes the pallets with the product to be baked arranged in the first train and delivers the pallets onto the upper level of the first heat recovery tunnel, the transpor

Abstract: The subject of the present invention is an energy-saving charge transport system in the press-furnace line with recovery of heat energy and recovery of electric energy. Its objective consists in introducing a rational management of heat energy and electric energy in the charge transport system along the press-furnace route and by means of a well-thought-out arrangement of transport routes and charging elevators, achieving compact dimensions of the whole transport structure. The essence of the energy-saving charge transport system in the press-furnace line is the heat energy recovery in the area surrounding the furnace and recovery of electric energy used to drive transport elevators. Elevator (1) loaded with hot charge (3) moves downwards. Motor (5) acting as an electric current generator brakes motion of elevator (1) and via controller (7) supplies electric energy back to battery (8).
