The invention relates to a gearbox assembly (2) for a charging installation (1) of a metallurgical reactor, the assembly (2) comprising: - a stationary casing (3) for housing a gear assembly, the casing (3) comprising a bottom section (3.3) with a central opening (9), and - a rotor (4) mounted within the casing (3) for rotation about a first axis (A), which defines an axial direction, the rotor comprising a support (4) for the gear assembly, a lower section (4.1) of the support (4) being disposed within the central opening (9). In order to provide for a better protection of a gear assembly, the bottom section (3.3) comprises a first annular portion (7, 8) extending radially inwards to a first radius, and the lower section (4.1) has a second annular portion (10.1) extending radially outwards to a second radius that is greater than the first radius, said second annular portion (10.1) being disposed adjacent to said first annular portion (7, 8), wherein the first annular portion (7, 8) comprises a ring element (8) disposed for sliding contact with the second annular portion (10.1). |
