  • the maximum amount of material to be treated that can be applied to the grate is essentially limited by the height of the side walls, the grate surface and the power with which the treatment gas can be sucked through the bed of granular material.
  • Grate cars for sintering plants and pellet burning plants usually consist mainly of the following parts: the one-piece or multi-part grate car body of u. a. is equipped with rollers, the grate, which is arranged on the top of the grate body and is supported by it, the so-called side walls, which are installed on the two long sides of the grate and thus the grate, i.

  • the top of the load is protected by so-called interchangeable insulating pieces.
  • Sealing elements are arranged on the underside of the longitudinal walls of the grate car, which seal the grate car from the pipeline system adjoining in this area.
  • the grate is formed by individual grate bars, which are suspended in the area of the upper side of the transverse walls and stiffening ribs running transversely to the longitudinal direction of the grate carriage, or in the insulating pieces usually arranged there.
  • the grate cars form the essential part of the moving grate of a moving grate sintering machine or one
  • the present invention also makes use of the attachment of gas-impermeable support elements, or the associated capacity expansion, the conversion of the suction box, in particular the replacement of parts of the vertical suction box walls by suction box walls which are inclined upwards outwards, should be mentioned as a further essential aspect.
  • the embodiment of the invention described above is directed to the conversion of a device in which the suction box directly adjoins the grate at the bottom.
  • Devices of this type usually do not have a moving grate, but have a stationary grate, for example sintering pans.
  • the method according to the invention is carried out in such a way that the upper parts of the suction box walls which are inclined upwards outward also include an angle of 30 - 60, preferably 45 °, of the vertical.

  • the width of the gas-impermeable support elements is preferably also 1/30 to 1/5 of the width of the grate originally present.
  • This information refers to grate cars with a width of e.g. 4 m, which were widened to 5 m by the method according to the invention. In some cases, the widening that can be achieved can be even higher.
  • Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is directed to the conversion of a system with a traveling grate.
  • such plants described in the introduction make up the largest share of sintering or pellet burning plants.
  • This further embodiment of the method according to the invention therefore relates to a method for converting a plant for the thermal treatment of fine-grained materials, in particular a device for drying, firing and / or sintering fine-grained raw materials to be used in the iron industry, with a traveling grate, the traveling grate of a plurality of Grate carriage is formed, wherein each grate carriage is formed a grate, a grate carriage body arranged underneath, each with two opposite, essentially vertical longitudinal and transverse walls, and having side walls extending upward from the long sides of the grate carriage body, longitudinal and side walls being essentially flush with one another are arranged.

  • the width of a building required for the installation of a sintering machine or pellet burning machine can be considerably smaller than in the case of a grate wagon with the same grate wagon width, as a result of which substantial savings in investment costs can be achieved.
  • the capacity of an existing sintering or pellet system can be increased by installing the new grate car according to the invention - depending on the original grate car width
  • Pellet burning machine is installed without the subsequent suction or pressure system, the position of the rails and the
