Spreader stoker.... Grate construction for firing waste fuels is substantially the same as for coal. The traveling grate is the most popular, but dumping and vibrating grates are also used.

CONT

Several manufacturers build spreader stokers with air-cooled vibrating or oscillating grates. ... The water-cooled vibrating-grate stoker consists of a tuyere grate surface mounted on ... a grid of water tubes.... The entire structure is supported by a number of flexing plates allowing the grid and its grate to move freely in a vibrating action that conveys coal from the feeding hopper onto the gate and gradually to the rear of the stoker.

OBS

Vibrating-Grate Stokers. ... In the vibrating stoker, the sloping grate is supported on equally spaced vertical plates that oscillate back and forth in a rectilinear direction, causing the fuel to move from the hopper through an adjustable gate into the active combustion zone. ... The grates are water cooled and are connected to the boiler circulating system.
