Exhibit description
Before the coal carbonization process could begin, the coal first had to be loaded into the retort. This backbreaking task was performed by workers equipped with specially designed coal scoops. This work was repetitive and dangerous, so solutions were sought to automate it.
This charging machine made this exhausting work much easier. Its screw conveyors took the coal from the container and delivered it to the retorts, where it was evenly distributed by means of long coal scoops.
