Abstract

A plurality of parallel strands comprise chain links which are articulately connected together by grate pins that extend transversely over the entire width of the grate. Rod-like holding members are carried on the chain links and extend substantially parallel to the grate pins. Assemblies of individual support bars have upper edges higher than the chain links, each support bar having two recesses to receive two rod-like holding members. Each assembly of support bars extends substantially between the longitudinal centers of two chain links and is supported by a separate pair of rod-like holding members, for receiving material deposited on the travelling grate chain, and comprises slots for the passage of treatment gas. Each pair of rod-like holding members is interrupted at an intermediate point to provide a gap for insertion and removal of the support bars.
