Lastly, we have to deal with those appliances for which there is no hearth necessary at all, and in which quenching, sifting, and loading are performed as a continuous process. An installation of this type is that of " Meguin" (see Figure); the machine is mounted on wheels and runs along the front of the ovens on rails. The coke is pushed past a long quencher a (consisting of a network of spraying pipes), and over a sloping shoot into a hopper b, through the adjustable shoot, off which the coke falls on to a travelling band c, the lower terminal of which dips into a water tank e, so that the coke is thoroughly quenched on its way to the screen d, which delivers the large coke on to a shoot leading to the railway truck, whilst the screenings are discharged into a special hopper.
