Abstract:
A method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material wherein a starting sintering material is cut out of an ore supplying hopper by means of a drum feeder and is then charged onto a pallet mounted on a sintering apparatus of a Dwight-Lloyd type to thereby bring the starting sintering material into layered form on the pallet, the method comprising:dropping said starting sintering material cut by the drum feeder out of a sloping chute of a plate type having a plurality of permanent magnets arrayed in a backwardly serially vertical posture; causing magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material to be magnetically attached to the sloping chute; and then segregating the resultant sinterable substances, together with particulate substances present in said starting sintering material, in a lower portion of the sintering material layer, whereby said starting sintering material is loaded directly on the pallet from the sloping chute.
