Claims
- 1. A method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material wherein a starting sintering material is cut out of an ore supplying hopper by means of a drum feeder and is then charged onto a pallet mounted on a sintering apparatus of a Dwight-Lloyd type to thereby bring the starting sintering material into layered form on the pallet, the method comprising:dropping said starting sintering material cut by the drum feeder out of a sloping chute of a plate type having a plurality of permanent magnets arrayed in a backwardly serially vertical posture; causing magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material to be magnetically attached to the sloping chute; and then segregating the resultant sinterable substances, together with particulate substances present in said starting sintering material, in a lower portion of the sintering material layer, whereby said starting sintering material is loaded directly on the pallet from the sloping chute.
- 2. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to claim 1, wherein the magnitude of magnetic force of each of the permanent magnets is adjusted depending on the target amount of the magnetically susceptible sinterable substances to be segregated in an upper portion of the sintering material layer loaded on the pallet.
- 3. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to claim 1, wherein as said starting sintering material is dropped out of the plate-type sloping chute disposed such that the permanent magnets arrayed in a backwardly serially vertical posture are increased in their magnitudes of magnetic forces progressively from top to bottom, the magnetically susceptible sinterable substances are magnetically attached by the permanent magnets through their magnetic forces, whereby said starting sintering material is loaded directly on the pallet from the sloping chute.
- 4. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to claim 3, wherein the magnitude of magnetic force of each of the permanent magnets is adjusted depending on the bulk density of said starting sintering material to be loaded on the pallet.
- 5. A method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material wherein a starting sintering material is cut out of an ore supplying hopper by means of a drum feeder and is then charged onto a pallet mounted on a sintering apparatus of a Dwight-Lloyd type to thereby bring the starting sintering material into layered form on the pallet, the method comprising:dropping said starting sintering material cut by the drum feeder out of a sloping chute of a belt conveyor type in which a magnetic drum is placed on a driving side and a separate drum on a driven side; causing magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material to be magnetically attached to the magnetic drum through its magnetizing action; and then segregating the resultant sinterable substances, together with particulate substances of low drop speed present in said starting sintering material, in a lower portion of the sintering material layer while the magnetic drum is being rotated forward or backward, whereby said starting sintering material is loaded directly on the pallet from the belt conveyor-type sloping chute.
- 6. A method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material wherein a starting sintering material is cut out of an ore supplying hopper by means of a drum feeder and is then charged onto a pallet mounted on a sintering apparatus of a Dwight-Lloyd type to thereby bring the starting sintering material into layered form on the pallet, the method comprising:applying a magnetic force to said starting sintering material having been cut through the drum feeder and being continuously flowed as said starting sintering material is slidably dropped out of a tip of a sloping chute of a plate type onto the pallet, the magnetic force being generated by a cylindrical magnetic drum located downwardly of the sloping chute; and causing magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material to be magnetically attracted toward and attached to a lower portion of the sintering material layer, while segregating particulate substances of low drop speed present in said starting sintering material in that lower portion, whereby both said magnetically susceptible sinterable substances and said particulate substances of low drop speed are segregated in large amounts in an upper portion of the sintering material layer on the pallet by inverting said starting sintering material when it is loaded on the pallet with use of the magnetic drum.
- 7. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to claim 6, wherein an endless belt is arranged in interengagement with the magnetic drum located downwardly of the plate-type sloping chute and also with a drum placed opposite to the magnetic drum, and part of said starting sintering material having been adherent to the endless belt is removed by a scraper held in abutting relation to the endless belt and is then recovered on the pallet.
- 8. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to any one of claims 6, wherein an auxiliary magnet drum is arranged upstream of and opposite to the magnetic drum located downwardly of the plate-type sloping chute, and magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material are magnetically attached to the auxiliary magnetic drum through its magnetizing action, which sinterable substances have failed to get magnetically attracted to the magnetic drum during dropping between the magnetic drum and the auxiliary magnetic drum.
- 9. The method of the magnetic loading of a sintering material according to any one of claim 6, wherein a first magnetic drum located downwardly of an upper sloping chute of a plate type and a second magnetic drum located downwardly of a lower magnetic drum of a plate type are serially arranged in a two-staged formation, and magnetically susceptible sinterable substances present in said starting sintering material having dropped out of the upper sloping chute are magnetically attached to the first magnetic drum by its magnetizing action, while magnetically susceptible sinterable substances having dropped out of the lower sloping chute are magnetically attached to the second magnetic drum through its magnetizing action.
