GRATE CARRIAGE FOR RECEIVING BULK MATERIAL

摘要

A grate carriage for receiving bulk material, in particular in a traveling grate of a pellet firing or sintering machine, includes a plurality of grate bars (3) arranged parallel to each other, wherein the grate bars (3) are movably held in lateral receptacles of the grate carriage and between the grate bars (3) a gap (11) each is provided. To avoid the jamming of pellets or material pieces in the gaps formed between the grate bars and thereby inhibit an increase in size thereof, a force application means is provided, which elastically presses the grate bars (3) arranged in parallel against each other.
