- the invention relates to methods and devices for melting furnaces, conveying paths and conveying means for the melt, the melt product and for any type of discharges from a melting furnace and transportation means for the melt, with an extended service life, which may also be infinite, and/or with increased purity of the melt.
- This is achieved by the pushing-through or rotating-through of screens, clinkers, coatings, linings, etc., that is to say solid materials which are situated between the melt or melt product or the discharges and the materials situated behind the same which counteract the pressure of the melt, of the melt product or the discharges and/or which isolate, surround or enclose the same with respect to the environment.
- new parts, or already-used parts, of screens etc. may be added at one free end, and used or worn screens can be removed or withdrawn at another free end.
- Previous equipment in the field of melting technology includes furnace systems or conveying paths for the melt, which are constructed from selected fire-resistant construction materials.
- these are composed substantially of a base plate, the side walls and the arch, which together surround the furnace interior/melting chamber and thus the melt.
- substantial steel structures are required, which can be summarized under the term anchoring.

- Pushing-through or rotating-through may also take place in such a way that pieces of screen ( 6 .
- a ) or virtually endless screen ( 9 ) are pushed through again multiple times, for example in the manner of a tank track, in this case possibly also by removal and insertion of sub-portions or pieces from and into the virtually endless screen ( 9 ).
- the speed of pushing-through or rotating-through of individual for example rows takes place at different speeds, or takes place in different directions of displacement, also of rows situated adjacent to one another. Pushing-in or rotating-in and pushing-back and rotating-back are also possible in order to ensure protection of the screens ( 6 ), melt/melt product ( 15 ) and discharges ( 17 ), for example in order to resolve jamming situations.
- a virtually endless screen ( 9 ) In the case of a roll, a virtually endless screen ( 9 ), this may also consist in the length of the virtually endless screen ( 9 ) being longer than the demand for virtually endless screen ( 9 ) over the service life of the entire region or partial region of the system or the transportation means.
- the movement of the screen ( 6 ) is conceivable in linear, rotational or variable form, that is to say any type of displacement, also into the chamber. It is thus conceivable for undulating movements for example of screens ( 6 ), or partial pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ), on the base to likewise take place by virtue of the screens ( 6 ) being held on the base by the pressure of the melt/melt product ( 15 ). Said pressure is not imperatively necessary.
- the screen ( 6 ) may also be displaced back and forth in order to resolve jamming situations, for example after an identification of a pressure increase or force increase in the sliding mechanism or in order to attain further effects. This likewise applies to all regions.
- pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ) these may, lined up loosely or joined to one another, and with smooth or rough surfaces not only on the lining-up surfaces or joining surfaces, have depressions, elevations, bores, pins, shoulders, toothings or the like, and may likewise be connected to one another, for example by means of screws, welding, riveting or adhesive bonding, as is generally familiar to a person skilled in the art.
- Intermediate layers, connectors, intermediate connectors, also composed of different materials, are also conceivable.
- a connection between individual screens ( 6 ) is not imperatively necessary, and generally also undesirable, for example rows of screens ( 6 ) situated one above the other.
- a modular design may be composed of a plurality of pieces of screen ( 6 . a ) which may also have intermediate pieces or the like between one another.
- the screens ( 6 ) may have any technically expedient form, size, material, design, wall thickness and layers, and may be formed from for example individual components that can be lined up with/joined to one another, shaped components, or formed as a band or as panels.
- the screens ( 6 ) may also be provided, as joining strips, with different lengths in order for example to prevent jamming. Guide rails are also conceivable.
- the screen ( 6 ), or pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ), have the necessary retention and/or movement device and/or guide device such that they can be pushed, pulled or rotated, moved back and forth or rotated back and forth or else a possible combination of these, for example pushed and pulled, likewise moved out of their plane, such that a displacement into the chamber is possible.
- All of said movement configurations may be realized by means of hydraulics, pneumatics, spindle drives, with and without a gear mechanism, etc., and also by means of gravitational force.
- the retention and/or movement device and/or guide device should be adapted to the respective demands and may have any technically expedient type and number of connecting facilities, as is generally known to a person skilled in the art.
- the retention and/or movement device and/or guide device may be formed directly into the pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ) or comprised in the shaping, and also joined to the intermediate element, wherein a retention device may be referred to, or be, not only a guide device or a movement device but in each case also as retention elements, guide elements and movement elements.
- a retention device may be referred to, or be, not only a guide device or a movement device but in each case also as retention elements, guide elements and movement elements.
- melt/melt product ( 15 ) or discharges ( 17 ) for flow manipulation, such as changes in the flow, thermal characteristics, mechanics or further physical or chemical influential variables of melt/melt product ( 15 ) or discharges ( 17 ), and the shaping of the components or apparatus situated behind the same.
- Sealing of the melt with respect to the supporting components may be realized with a screen ( 6 ) covering the full area, for example a trough which extends across the melt level ( 16 ).
- Sealing of the screen ( 6 ) may also be realized in that the, before the extraction of the pieces of the screen which are to be removed ( 8 ), are beforehand rotated, turned or pushed out of their direction of movement into a different direction, that is to say out of their plane, such that a possible degree of wear of the pieces of the screen which are to be removed ( 8 ), which can lead to leakage, or by means of the component or the components which is/are intended to produce the sealing action with the screen ( 6 ) or the piece of the screen ( 6 . a ), and which may also be subject to possible wear, ensures a reliable sealing action.
- intermediate elements, or coatings are self-evidently also conceivable as sealing material, and likewise, in the case of melts, partial cooling for solidification of the melt is conceivable.
- the new pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ) may be brought to temperature substantially or exclusively by means of the heat conduction of the respective previously introduced pieces of the screen ( 6 . a ) or modules; the temperature withdrawal can likewise take place independently.
