Abstract: An arrangement for feeding glowing coke has a cooling shaft into which coke and cooling gas are received, a coke transporting container arranged on the shaft and having a closable bottom opening, and a closing device arranged in the cooling shaft below the coke transporting container and including a housing sealed from atmosphere, and a closing plate which is raisable and lowerable and also displaceable in substantially horizontal direction in the housing.

Abstract: An arrangement for discharging coke from a cooling shaft supplied with cooling gas, has one or several coke stripping members arranged to engage in a mass of coke discharged from the cooling shaft, a supporting element for supporting stripping members and rotating together with the latter, and a housing in which the supporting element together with the coke stripping member are accommodated and which is sealed from the atmosphere.

Abstract: An annular frame has an outer and an inner wall defining a space therebetween and a plurality of wheels rotatably mounted on said walls. Carriages for carrying material to be cooled are located in said space adjacent each other. Each carriage has a pair of aligned pins fixedly connected thereto and turnably mounted in the frame, and a pair of levers fixedly connected at one end to the pins and extending transverse to the pins axes. Roller followers are fixedly mounted at the other ends of the lever. A pair of annular guide rails support the plurality of the wheels rotably mounted on the walls of the frame and are engaged by the roller followers. Each guide rail has in a zone of unloading of the carriages a downwardly curving portion. During riding of the roller followers over this portion the respective carriages tilt about the axes of the pins to thereby discharge the material from the carriages.
