Abstract
A supply chute, and a system and a method for supplying sinter material from a sinter belt to a sinter cooler (). A flow of the sinter material () is input into the supply chute (). The flow of sinter material () after being input is concentrated by a device in the chute. This means that the flow is remixed for more uniform grain size distribution. The flow is thereafter widened by a widening device in the chute. Then the widened flow of sinter material (), optionally after making the movement direction of the flow of sinter material () uniform, the flow is passed through a segregation device () and is there segregated, which means that a grain size distribution across the thickness and across the width of the flow is made more uniform. This occurs after the widened flow of sinter material moves in the direction of the output region (). After passing through the output region (), the flow of sinter material () is supplied to the sinter cooler (), wherein the horizontal main component B of the movement direction of the flow of sinter material is largely perpendicular to the horizontal main component A of the movement of sinter material by the sinter belt.
