La majeure partie de la charge d’alimentation du four est constituée de ferraille, qui peut inclure la ferraille de l’aciérie (par exemple, les chutes), les résidus de coupe des fabricants de produits en acier (par exemple, les constructeurs automobiles), et les vieux métaux ou la ferraille déjà utilisée (par exemple, les véhicules et les appareils en fin de vie) […] Les apports additionnels sont des fondants et des ajouts comme des désoxydants ou des éléments d’alliage. Du fer réduit directement est également de plus en plus utilisé comme charge d’alimentation, grâce à sa faible teneur en gangue et à cause des prix variables de la ferraille […] 1, record 1, French, - charge%20d%27alimentation%20du%20four

Underfeed stokers introduce the raw coal into a retort beneath the burning fuel bed. They are classified as horizontal feed and gravity feed. In the horizontal type, coal travels within the furnace in a retort which is parallel with the floor.... Most horizontal feed stokers are designed with single or double retorts(rarely, with triple retorts).... The single-retort or double-retort horizontal stokers are generally used to service boilers with capacities up to 13 620 kg/h. 1, record 5, English, - single%2Dretort%20horizontal%20stoker
