Abstract: The invention relates to methods and to devices for a melting furnace, or for the conveying ones of the product to be melted, having an infinite life (furnace campaign). The same is achieved by means of the continuous/periodic, e.g. cyclic, exchange, in the optimum case, of all of the components surrounding the furnace interior/melting space, or surrounding the conveying lines, in that the components can be arranged/placed next to each other in a modular manner and that said components move in a certain direction while new individual parts are added at one of the free ends of the respective assembly and while worn/used individual parts are removed at the other free end of the respective assembly. For this purpose the individual components are held and/or moved by suitable receptacles, wherein the furnace interior/melting chamber remains stationary.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for melting furnaces, conveying paths and conveying means for the melt, the melt product and for any type of discharges from a melting furnace and transportation means for the melt, with an extended service life, which in the case of a complete screen, that is to say in the optimum situation, may also be infinite, and/or with increased purity of the melt. This is achieved by the pushing-through or rotating-through of screens, clinkers, coatings, linings, etc., that is to say solid materials which are situated between the melt or melt product or the discharges and the materials situated behind the same which counteract the pressure of the melt, of the melt product or the discharges, for example walls. Here, new pieces of the screens etc. may be added at one free end, and used or worn pieces of the screens can be removed or withdrawn at another free end.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pouring device (1) for supplying molten material (10) from a melting furnace (2) via an outlet (3) of the melting furnace (2) to at least one production unit (6), comprising a discharge trough (5) sub-divided into segments (4), wherein at least one segment (4) has a discharge (42) for the molten material (10), and wherein at least one segment (4) has at least one movable partition (44).

Abstract: The invention relates to insulation for a container wall element, a container wall of a large container in a thermal plant using such an element and a method for using such a container wall element in a container wall, wherein the container wall element comprises a fireproof material and a thermally insulating material, and an intermediate layer where appropriate. At least one fastening may be introduced into the thermally insulating material. The thermally insulating material can be formed from a glass or metal foam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vessel lid in particular for a thermal plant, for example a smelting furnace or a waste incineration plant. In particular, the invention relates to a vessel lid for a thermal plant which is arranged within vessel wall elements of a vessel wall of the thermal plant and which is either vertically adjustable and/or tiltable as a whole or which consists of a plurality of lid parts of which at least one is vertically adjustable and/or tiltable. The vertical adjustment and/or the tilting of the lid or of the lid parts and also the lateral movement thereof make it possible to achieve improved thermal sealing of the lid with respect to the vessel. The invention provides that the vessel lid or one or more lid parts/lid elements can be removed and/or exchanged. Instead of the complete exchange of the lid or of a lid part/lid element, it is also possible for only a wear layer or a screen thereof to be replaced.

Abstract: The invention relates to processes and apparatuses for pushing through/pushing in/turning through/turning in components/linings, as an individual component/section/subassembly for batch feeding/melting furnace/conveying path for the melt/conveying path for other emissions/transportation means for the melt, in that the pushing through/pushing in/turning through/turning in takes places in a manner controlled by means of pushing-through/pushing-in/turning-through and turning-in elements and the corresponding drives or under fully automatic control, preferably observing the maximum permissible compressive and tensile forces of the components/linings of individual components/sections/subassemblies which can be pushed through/pushed in/turned through/turned in in each case, in order to avoid joints in the respective region and to prevent inadmissibly high forces/pressures/traction/torques on the respective components/linings, during a heating operation/melting operation/cooling operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for extending the furnace campaign by avoiding cracks in the stones and the chipping of parts of the stones, and reducing joints in melting furnaces. Said aim is achieved by a measurement of the forces/pressures/moments of the furnace stones occurring against each other, or of the furnace stones against the bracing and defined necessary counter forces, such that the forces between the stones, or between the bracings and the stones are below the maximum permissible compression (pressure force) of the stones, and the forces required for avoiding joints between the stones are ensured. Said process occurs automatically as a form of control by determining the force of sensors, analysis of processors and data, and activation of actuators for generating counter forces.
