Abstract: A rotary hearth furnace is provided to simplify detachment and assembly operations of a reduced iron discharging screw. At both side walls of an insulating housing 2a constituting in part of a furnace body 2 of a rotary hearth furnace 1 are installed through-holes which a spiral blade 42 of a reduced iron discharging screw 4 can pass through, each of the through-holes is closed by an inner hatch member 8 and an outer hatch member 9 which are externally mounted in a removable fashion to a rotary shaft 41 of the reduced iron discharging screw 4, an inner screw supporting device 10 is installed in the outside at an inner periphery side of the hearth 3 as well as an outer screw supporting device 20 is installed in the outside at an outer periphery side of the hearth 3. The reduced iron discharging screw 4 is detached from the furnace body 2 via the through-holes and assembled to the furnace body 2 via the through-holes by using the inner screw supporting device 10 and the outer screw supporting device 20.

Abstract: Heat-treated products discharged from a discharge port of a movable hearth type heat treatment furnace, for example a rotary hearth type reduction furnace are discharged to a sorting means, the heat-treated products that foreign substances have been removed, are discharged through a seal leg into which anti-reoxidation gas is blown from a gas blowing nozzle, to a receiving recess of a receiving pan provided within a case having a hopper attached thereto which is a feeding means, and then a scraper is swung to discharge the heat-treated products deposited on the top surface of the receiving recess from the longitudinal ends of the receiving pan and simultaneously to quantitatively feed it to a molten iron-manufacturing furnace 8, which is a downstream side facility, from the bottom side discharge port of the casing having a hopper attached thereto, and in addition, dust removal/cooling means for produced gas of the molten iron-manufacturing furnace and means for regulating the amount of produced gas are provid

Abstract: Iron oxide agglomerates incorporated with the carbonaceous material having a particle size within a range of about 10 to 30 nm are prepared upon production of reduced iron agglomerates. Then, the iron oxides agglomerates incorporated with the carbonaceous material were laid thinly at a laying density of less than 1.4 kg/m.sup.2 /mm or lower on a hearth of a moving hearth furnace. Subsequently, the iron oxide agglomerates are heated rapidly such that the surface temperature of the iron oxide agglomerates reaches 1200.degree. C. or higher within one-third of the retention period of time of the iron oxide agglomerates in the moving hearth furnace. Then, the iron oxide agglomerates are reduced till the metallization ratio thereof reaches 85% or higher to form reduced iron agglomerates and then the reduced iron agglomerates are discharged out of the moving hearth furnace. With the procedures, reduced iron agglomerates of a high average quality can be obtained at a high productivity.
