Abstract
A coke oven discharge device for the closed discharge of coke from a horizontal row of coke ovens into a receiving bunker located alongside the ovens comprises a support frame which is mounted on an undercarriage for movement along a path alongside the rows of coke ovens. The tank is made up of a plurality of heat resistant metal plates which are suspended in loosely adjacent layers from strips and they overlap their adjacent plates. The tank includes a bottom with openable door means for selectively opening and closing a bottom discharge for discharging the coke into a receiving bunker. A separator and washer is connected to the tank for withdrawing gaseous dust and odors and for subjecting them to a washing and a removal of the dust. The tank carries a sealing sleeve which is engageable between the exterior of the tank around the bottom discharge and a bunker to seal the space therebetween during the discharge.
