Bulk material reactor

Bulk material reactor comprising a travelling bed of bulk material which is arranged inside a reactor housing together with a feed device located on a top side and a removal device located on an underside of said travelling bed, said reactor housing including an inlet opening and an outlet opening for the purpose of respectively letting gas into and out of said reactor, whereby said travelling bed is bounded along its lower side by means of cascade-forming staggered plates that overlap toward side walls of said reactor, whereby plates 10 can be arranged at a height from each other and to overlap each other such that an angle of repose 11 is formed by bulk material 7, 7' upon plates 10, said angle of repose serving to prevent bulk material 7, 7' from trickling out while the reactor is stopped, and whereby plates 10 are connected to a vibration power source which enables bulk material 7, 7' to fall from said plates due to the motion of said plates and whereby plates 10 are situated along a sloped line that runs parallel to a sloping surface 9 of travelling bed 6, 6';

• wherein removal troughs 12, 12' are arranged in at least two planes and are provided with intermediate spaces 13, whereby removal trough 12, 12' which are located on all planes, overlap each other along the extent of the plates 10.
