Reciprocating Coke Guide Extension

US Patent:
4123334, Oct 31, 1978
Filed:
Jan 9, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/867680
Inventors:
William G. Emery - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Koppers Company, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
C10B 3314
US Classification:
202262
Abstract:
In a system wherein coke is ejected from a horizontal coke oven into a one-spot coke quenching car, a reciprocating coke guide extension which serves to spread the ejected coke more evenly throughout the one-spot quenching car, thus allowing more coke to be accumulated in the one-spot quenching car before it is required to be moved. The apparatus presents a means by which the falling coke column is directed initially to the remote side of the car, away from the coke oven, and at varying oblique angles from the central axis of the horizontal coke oven, concluding the loading operation by directing the coke to a point immediately below the exit from the coke oven.

Coke Oven Battery Bench Cleaning Apparatus

US Patent:
4276123, Jun 30, 1981
Filed:
Sep 22, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/189374
Inventors:
William G. Emery - Pittsburgh PA
Assignee:
Koppers Company, Inc. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
C10B 4304, C10B 3314, C10B 2512
US Classification:
202241
Abstract:
In a coke oven coke side door machine, a bottom tray is mounted to collect spillage that results from the removal of coke oven doors as well as the residue buildup that is scraped from the door seals and bottom plugs during the door cleaning operation. Trays, in the form of inclined planes, are extended from the door machine to catch the coke spillage from the oven and to catch the residue buildup which is scraped from the door jambs during the jamb cleaning operations. This material gravitates down the trays into the catch pan. A scraper then pushes the material accumulated in the catch pan to one end of that catch pan where a conveyor carries it to a dump bucket. The dump bucket can be dumped when the door machine is positioned adjacent a quench car. All of the above apparatus is mounted onto and within the confines of the door machine.
