Churning and Stoking Ram

摘要

A churning and stoking ram for a furnace is disclosed. The churning and stoking ram includes a frame disposed externally of the furnace, where the stoking ram is mounted on the frame. The stoking ram is positionable relative to the furnace between an external position and an internal position, and is rotatable about a central longitudinal axis of the stoking ram. The stoking ram further includes a churning device positionable relative to the stoking ram between a retracted position and an extended position, a first actuator mounted on the frame to position the stoking ram between the external and internal positions, a second actuator to position the churning device between the retracted and extended positions, and a third actuator to rotate the stoking ram and the churning device associated therewith.

1. A churning and stoking ram for a furnace comprising:
a frame disposed externally of the furnace; a stoking ram mounted on the frame in an arrangement to enable the stoking ram to be positionable relative to the furnace between an external position and an internal position and to be rotatable about a central longitudinal axis of the stoking ram; a first actuator mounted on the frame in operative communication with the stoking ram in an arrangement to position the stoking ram between the external and internal positions; a churning device associated with the stoking ram and positionable relative to the stoking ram between a retracted position and an extended position; a second actuator in operative communication with the churning device in an arrangement to position the churning device between the retracted and extended positions; and a third actuator in operative communication with the stoking ram in an arrangement to rotate the stoking ram and the churning device associated therewith.
