Title: Improvements in or relating to Ore-roasting Furnaces.
Inventor: BRACQ EMILE
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1911-05-02
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 10,642. Bracq, E. May 2. Roasting - furnaces; hearths; charges, agitating. - An ore-roasting furnace formed with a helical hearth A, is provided with a rabble arm which travels over the hearth, and rotates about its own axis; the arm may be moved into an inoperative portion of the furnace beyond the discharge hopper to facilitate cooling and inspection, and may be provided with means for adjusting its inclination. As shown, the furnace is provided with a rotary central core having cylindrical walls separated by refractory material except at the top and bottom where liquidcooled rings are fitted. Uprights H, H<1>, which are rotated with the core, are connected by cross-bars I, I<1>, I<11> and travel vertically between guides J, J', the uprights and guides being cooled by the circulation of liquid. The upright H carries the rabble arm K which is pivoted at L and is rotated by toothed wheels 0, M, the wheel 0 being mounted on a ball - and - socket joint. Toothed wheels N, N', M<1> rotate the core G and with it the uprights H, H' and the arm K, and, at the same time, a spindle Q, thread S, and nut T produce a vertical movement of the uprights and arm so that the arm travels in a helical path over the hearth. Near the end of the movement, a nut U is locked by a ratchetwheel V, which may be operated by a tappet on the cross-bar I<11>, and the spindle Q is caused to move more upwards, thus lifting the arm K out of the ore and also reversing the rotation by actuating a clutch 2. The arm K then descends and rotates in the opposite direction, that is, one that would tend to raise the materials treated. To prevent material near the centre from travelling too quickly, the arm K is tilted before it descends by causing the spindle X to descend by means of connexions between a nut W, ratchet Y, and a tappet on a cross-bar 7 secured to the core G. Ball bearings 20, 21, 22, balance weights Z, sand joints 24, a gas outlet E, and a furnace 19 are provided as shown. Electric means may be provided for driving, stopping, starting, and reversing. The rabble arm is formed with a hollow core 11 and a toothed casing 12, which may be fitted with scraping-blades as shown in Fig. 5, and cooling-liquid is supplied to the arm through an inner pipe 13. A modified shape of arm, which may be also fitted with blades, is shown in Fig. 6. To prevent the material from travelling towards the circumference the arm K may be set obliquely. A helical rib may be fitted on the arm to prevent material from falling into the interior of the core. Materials are fed to the furnace at points near the centre and circumference, respectively, from a hopper having right and left handed screws at opposite ends of the same spindle, which is driven in a constant direction bv a ratchet - wheel and pawl 8. The discharge hopper is provided with normally-closed doors opened at each descent of the upright. The ore may be charged at the lower part of the furnace and discharged at the top.
