  • Patent number: 7121309
    Abstract: The invention relates to a loading device for a reactor formed by of a plurality of tubes, which are substantially arranged vertically, substantially run parallel to each other and each have a filling opening. The loading device includes a plurality of funnel elements, through which the tubes can be loaded with bulk material, whereby the funnel elements are adapted to the reactor so that a substantially closed surface can be created with a plurality of funnel elements arranged side by side when the filling tubes extend into the tubes of the reactor through the filling openings. Furthermore, a pouring device for loading the tubes through the funnel elements is provided, whereby the pouring device is arranged above the funnel elements and lets the bulk material fall evenly rain-like onto all funnel elements.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6880591
    Abstract: The invention relates to a loading device (12) for a reactor formed by a plurality of vertically extending tubes (50). Said device is formed by loading elements (10) each of which comprises a circular plate (30) having two noses (16) formed thereon being positioned diametrically opposed to each other, and an opening (24) and a filling tube (26) the end side of which is formed around said opening (24) of said plate (30). The outer contours of said individual plates (30) are adapted to the reactor in such a manner that in case of a plurality of loading elements (10) being arranged side by side a parquet-like closed surface is formable when said filling tubes (26) extend through filling openings (25) into said tubes (50) of the reactor.
