Abstract
An apparatus for comminuting and stoking of straw bales, and for automatic stoking of chips, pieces of wood, paper, industrial waste, garbage, lignite, coal, briquettes, pellets, and similar solid fuel includes a number of substantially parallel reciprocating or eccentrically moved serrated rods situated in connection with a feeding opening of a furnace. The serrated rods are operatively positioned for comminuting fuel and for tearing any retaining material utilized to contain the fuel. A feeder is provided for feeding fuel onto the serrated rods. A grate is situated between the serrated rods and a conveyor supplies fuel into the furnace.

- a number of substantially parallel reciprocating or eccentrically moved serrated rods situated in connection with a feeding opening of a furnace, said serrated rods being operatively positioned for comminuting fuel and for tearing any retaining material utilized to contain the fuel;
- means for feeding fuel onto the serrated rods;
- a grate situated between the serrated rods, said grate being vertically movable in relation to the serrated rods, preferably by being hinged in the end that is closest to the feeding opening;
- and
- means for conveying fuel into the furnace.
An apparatus for comminuting and stoking of straw bales, and for automatic stoking of chips, pieces of wood, paper, industrial waste, garbage, lignite, coal briquettes, pellets, and similar solid fuel comprising:
- a box for receiving fuel;
- a door operatively positioned relative to said box for opening and closing, said door permits fuel to be supplied to said box when said door is in an open position;
- a plurality of substantially parallel reciprocating or eccentrically moved serrated rods positioned adjacent to said box and adjacent to a feeding opening of a furnace, said serrated rods being operatively positioned for comminuting fuel and for tearing any retaining material utilized to contain the fuel;
- a grate situated between the serrated rods;
- advancing means for advancing fuel into engagement with said serrated rods, wherein said advancing means is a hydraulic ram;
- and
- conveyor means for supplying fuel into a furnace.
