Method for charging raw materials into blast furnace

A method for charging raw materials into a blast furnace, the blast furnace including a bell-less charging device that includes a plurality of main hoppers and an auxiliary hopper at a furnace top portion, the auxiliary hopper having a smaller capacity than the main hoppers,

• the method comprising discharging ore charged in at least one of the plurality of main hoppers into a rotating chute through a collecting hopper and then sequentially charging the ore from a furnace wall side toward a furnace center side by using the rotating chute, wherein
• discharging of small-size coke charged in the auxiliary hopper into the rotating chute through a collecting hopper is started simultaneously with the ore or at a point in time after the start of the ore, and then the small-size coke is charged together with the ore from the rotating chute;
• and charging of the small-size coke is stopped at least before a point in time at which charging of 90 mass % of the ore is completed based on a total amount of the ore to be charged per batch.
