Abstract: A combustion installation has a combustion chamber for the combustion of a fuel, wherein combustion residues of the fuel combusted in the combustion chamber are fed, via an outlet of the combustion chamber, to a crusher for the purpose of comminuting the combustion residues, and at least one interfering element removal means is arranged in a conveyor line for the combustion residues, by means of which interfering elements that are conveyed in the combustion residues but cannot be comminuted by the crusher can be removed via an interfering element removal opening.

Abstract: Techniques convey, cool and energy recuperate hot material from a combustion boiler of a combustion plant. Such techniques involve: a) issue of the hot material from a material issue orifice of a combustion boiler into a capture region of a housing, a conveyor belt being arranged in the housing, b) conveyance of the hot material through a cooling region in the housing, c) cooling of the hot material in the cooling region by means of a cooling-air stream moving in the opposite direction to the material, d) removal of at least part of the heated cooling-air stream out of at least one region adjacent to the capture region of the housing, and e) delivery of the removed cooling-air stream to at least one region, carrying combustion exhaust gases, of the combustion plant.

Abstract: A conveying means for hot material, including at least one conveyor belt and at least one housing at least partially surrounding the at least one conveyor belt, wherein at least one deflecting means for deflecting a gas flow flowing longitudinally with respect to the at least one conveyor belt towards the at least one conveyor belt is arranged in or on the housing, and wherein the gas flow can be deflected by the at least one deflecting means over at least 25% of a length of the at least one conveyor belt.

Abstract: An incinerator has a combustion chamber which is at least partially surrounded by a housing. The combustion chamber has at least one ash outlet to which at least one afterburning grate for unincinerated components of the ash is assigned.

Abstract: A technique for the conveyance of solid combustible material, having at least one conveying means, wherein the conveying means is supported at least partially by bearing means and/or drive means, in particular on a stand, and the apparatus having at least one collecting space located below the conveying means and having a height, at least one deflecting means for the deflection of solid combustible material towards the collecting space being located below at least one bearing means and/or below at least one drive means. Such an apparatus is suitable most especially for the conveyance of solid materials presenting a fire and/or explosion hazard.

Abstract: Method and device for operating a conveyor for a combustion product, in which, during the conveyance, through the detection and analysis of properties (such as volume flow, mass flow, moisture, temperature, grain size) of the combustion product by means of microwaves, a control of transport parameters (such as transport speed, cooling of the combustion product, supply of combustion product, degree of crushing) is realized. It is herein possible to protect the conveyor thermally and mechanically and, at the same time, to ensure real-time regulation of the composition and quantity of the combustion product for following treatment steps.

Abstract: A device, which conveys and handles material from a combustion boiler, includes at least one conveyor belt and a housing surrounding the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt includes at least one horizontal collection area and a handling area. The housing includes at least one outlet for the material. Furthermore, the handling area has a first length of at least 10 m and an inclination of at least 38°. Some arrangements relate to a corresponding combustion plant and to a method for handling hot ash.

Abstract: A method and a device are involved in feeding hot material from a combustion boiler including at least one housing, at least one conveyor belt and at least one redirecting device, wherein the at least one conveyor belt first feeds the material with a first horizontal directional component and after passage through the redirecting device the material is fed with at least a second horizontal directional component that deviates from the first. Also, the material with the first directional component outside the redirecting device is continuously separated from the material with the second directional component. Additionally, the first directional component and the second directional component span an angle of 135° to 180°.
