Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hatch and valve arrangement for a charging installation for a shaft furnace, such as a blast furnace, said arrangement comprising a housing ( 1 ), inside which is located at least one hatch ( 21 ) and/or a valve ( 31 ), caused to pivot by an actuator ( 25, 35 ) located outside the housing and connected to the hatch or valve by a linking shaft guided in a bearing that is fixed with respect to the housing. The bearing ( 24, 34 ) and the actuator ( 25, 35 ) are mounted on a detachable door ( 26, 36 ) that seals an opening ( 13, 15 ) made in the wall of the housing ( 1 ) and whose dimensions are determined such that the hatch or the valve can be withdrawn transversely to the axis of the housing through said opening.
