- a coking furnace having input and output ends,
- a continuous conveyor providing a flat conveyor run moving horizontally through the furnace from the input end to output end thereof,
- at least two coal hoppers,
- a plurality of spaced outlet means for feeding coal from one hopper onto the conveyor run at a plurality of locations which are spaced from one another in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the conveyor run so as to form a plurality of spaced rows of coal from one hopper along the conveyor run, and another plurality of spaced outlet means for feeding coal from the other hopper onto the conveyor run into the spaces between the first mentioned rows.
