• the ventilation bars 1 are installed parallel with bottoms of the trucks 104 with the angle-adjusting device 117 and the forward/backward movement-adjusting device 118. As the operation begins, mixed raw material M is charged into the trucks 104 via the deflector plate 114 so that the ventilation bars 1 are buried in raw material M.
• mixed raw material M on the trucks 104 is transported toward a discharging side (or wing portions of the ventilation bars) as the trucks 104 move to the left in the drawing.
• mixed raw material M As mixed raw material M is transported on the trucks 104, mixed raw material M naturally applies a horizontal pressure to the wings 27 so that the linear motion of raw material M is converted into the rotational motion of the wings 27 to rotate the bodies 2 of the ventilation bars 1.
• the thrust ball bearings 32 in assembled sections opposed to the wings 27 minimize frictional force to prevent deceleration of rotational force.
• mixed raw material M has very excellent breathability during sintering.
• mixed raw material M is charged into the trucks 104 of the sintering machine with uniform charging density as well as has fine breathability during sintering thereby promoting the productivity and quality of sintered ore.
• the invention can prevent creation of ore deposits on the ventilation bars 1 which may cause nonuniform partial accumulation of raw material M or drops of the ore deposits from mixing into raw material, which may potentially cause nonuniform sintering reaction degrading the quality of sintered ore.
• rotation of the ventilation bars 1 prevents concentrated abrasion in some portions of the ventilation bars 1 thereby prolonging the lifetime thereof.
