  • Patent number: 5697168
    Abstract: Single or multi-screw indirect-heating screw conveyor desorbers having a heating gas guide enclosed by the screw shaft wall (single-wall screw shafts) or located between a screw shaft wall and an internal chamber wall (double-walled screw shafts). Predetermined amounts of cooling and diluting fluid may be added to a heating gas stream to control the maximum temperature thereof. Screw shaft support bearings and rotary drive components may be cooled, and conveyor wall and/or screw shaft surfaces (e.g.. screw flights and interflight surfaces) may be automatically cleaned during screw shaft rotation by hardened bits and/or breaker devices. Cleaning operations may also involve the interaction of two counter-rotating conveyor screw shafts having mutually interleaved and opposite-handed external flights.

  • Patent number: 4201129
    Abstract: A machine for charging a furnace with scrap to be incinerated comprising a hopper in which bulk scrap to be incinerated is fed and whose bottom opens into the interior of a rectilinear and horizontal tubular body connected at one extremity to the inlet of a furnace. Mounted at the other opposite extremity of the tubular body is a push member actuated by a first jack. The push member has a section corresponding to that of the interior passage in the tubular body. A first wall of the hopper is constituted by a trap door capable of being raised to uncover a crushing head articulated by a second jack of high power so that in lowered position it compresses the scrap against the bottom of the tubular body. A second wall of the hopper is disposed opposite the first wall and is pivotably connected to the base of the hopper for undergoing pivotal movement to a lowered position closing the top of the tubular body.
