Method for collecting residual coke from non-recovery and heat-recovery coke ovens

A method for capture of hot coke falling out from a coke oven chamber while opening the coke oven chamber door, wherein

• a capturing device is approached to a guide plate located beneath the coke oven chamber door or which is approached to it, and
• the coke oven chamber door is opened after the capturing device has been moved out, and wherein the coke falling out from a coke oven chamber falls via the guide plate into the capturing device,
• wherein the capturing device is moved into a horizontal position after the coke has been captured so that the upper edge of the capturing device lies at least on a level with the bottom floor of the coke oven chamber, and
• the coke pusher facility of the coke oven operating machine travels over the capturing device between the suspensions so that the coke is slid back from the capturing device into the coke oven chamber.
