Abstract: A combined coke oven pushing and charging machine is supported on tracks for movement along the front of a bank of coke ovens and is operable to open an oven door, push the coke from the open oven, and close the oven door, and to open the door of an adjacent empty oven, charge the oven with a uniform, level, compact charge of coal, and close the door. The machine is then moved along the track a distance equal to the width of one oven, a second oven is pushed, and the oven previously pushed is charged. The pusher head is provided with roller supports adapted to roll along the oven floor during the pushing operation, and the head is water cooled to prevent warping and damage by the intense heat of the coke. The coal is deposited into the empty ovens by a drag-type endless chain conveyor having a width substantially equal to the width of the coking chambers and which is telescoped into the oven from the pusher door opening.
