Abstract
A generally cylindrical drum of heat stress and corrosion resistant construction, and having an opening therein, is rotatably mounted on a frame movable on rails along the coke side of the coke oven battery. A movable cover is fixed to the shell and covers the opening in the shell through which hot coke passes, when pushed from a coke oven chamber. A hood is fixed to the structure supporting a coke guide and has a movable portion that coacts with the rotatable shell when coke gravitates into the shell. The drum is rotatable to several positions. Means are included to quench the hot coke and to extract the particulate laden steam which is generated by the quenching operation. Additional means are included to remove noxious gases and particulate matter which emanates from the hot coke.
