What is a coal charging car?

A coal charging car, also called a larry car, is a rail-mounted machine that runs along the top of a coke oven battery and charges coal into the ovens from above. It takes a measured coal blend from the overhead service bunker into its conical hoppers, travels to the empty oven, and lines up its telescopic sleeves with the oven's charging holes to limit smoke leakage. Motorised slide gates (3 HP) then open and the coal flows in by gravity, with a manual override wheel for power failures.

A 15 HP motor with a worm reducer gearbox moves the car at 60 to 80 metres per minute and positions it precisely. Hoppers are made from 8 mm tapered steel plate with steep sides so that wet coal flows, in capacities of 8, 15 or 20 tons. Safety features include hydraulic buffers, travel alarms and heat shields for the operator cabin.

Precision Coal Feed System

The Manual Tools Company Coal Charging Car (Larry Car) is a rail-mounted vehicle designed to travel along the top of the coke oven battery. Its primary function is to receive pulverized coal from the overhead service bunker and discharge it into the hot ovens via charging holes.

Constructed with 8mm thick tapered steel plates, the hoppers ensure smooth coal flow without bridging. The travel mechanism is powered by a 15 HP motor coupled with a Worm Reducer Gearbox, providing high torque for controlled movement and precise positioning over the oven mouths.
