An independent claim is also included for heat treatment of at least one material of larger length in the shaft furnace, comprising introducing the material of larger length into the furnace chamber through the lateral opening, and holding the material in the furnace chamber, closing the lateral opening by the door, firing the furnace chamber by the burner for the heat treatment of the material, detaching the door from the lateral opening, and conducting out the material from the furnace chamber through the lateral opening.</p> |
