SLAG CRUSHER
A slag crusher includes a screen provided so as to intersect a falling direction of a slag and having openings; at least two spreaders disposed opposite from one another on the screen; and a spreader moving unit configured to support the spreaders and move the spreaders in a direction vertical to the opposing faces of the spreaders. Each spreader includes projections and a lower projection so as to face the other spreader. In a state in which the lower projection is closest to the other spreader, the lower projection does not come into surface contact with the opposed lower projection, and a distance between the opposing lower projections is smaller than an opening dimension of the openings of the screen across a width direction of the spreaders.
1 . A slag crusher that is provided in a gasifier for gasifying coal to crash slag that has been produced in the gasifier and has talks from the gasifier, the slag crasher comprising:
a screen provided so as to intersect a falling direction of the slag, the screen having a plurality of openings formed therein;
at least two spreaders disposed on a top surface side of the screen, the spreaders being disposed opposite from one another; and
a spreader moving unit configured to support the spreaders and cause the spreaders to move in a direction vertical to the opposing faces of the spreaders, wherein
the spreaders each include a plurality of projections and a plurality of lower projections, the projections being disposed on the opposing face to the other spreader that is disposed in an opposed position, the projections projecting toward the other spreader, the lower projections being disposed at a lower end of the opposing face, extending in a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the spreaders, and projecting toward the other spreader, and
in a state in which the lower projections are located closest to the other spreader that is disposed opposite from the lower projections, the lower projections do not come into surface contact with the opposed lower projection projections, and a distance between the lower projections and the opposed lower projections is smaller than an opening dimension of the openings of the screen across a width direction of the spreaders, wherein the lower projections have a concavo-convex shape in which, depending on a position in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the spreaders, an amount projecting toward the other spreader varies, and the lower projections have an inverted shape of the concavo-convex shape of the opposed lower projections such that each lower projection and each opposed lower projection are alternately engaged with one another.
2 . The slag crasher according to claim 1 , wherein, the lower projection has a face opposing the screen, the face slanting in a direction moving away from the screen toward the opposed lower projection.
