APPARATUS FOR CONDUCTING GAS THROUGH MATERIAL TO BE SINTERED

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for conducting gas through material (1) to be sintered, which material is set in an essentially continuous motion, particularly when gas is used for sintering the material; said apparatus comprises a flow guide (7) for conducting gas essentially near to the material (1) to be sintered, and a gas collecting member (10) for collecting the gas that has been made to penetrate the material to be sintered. According to the invention, in the gas flow guide (7) the gas inlet (8) is located centrally with respect to the material (1) to be sintered, and the gas outlet (9) extends essentially over the whole material to be sintered in the transversal direction, when observed in the proceeding direction of said material; and gas collecting member (10) is composed of funnel elements (11), which are installed essentially at the gas flow apertures (5) provided in the member for conveying the material to be sintered.
