FIELD: tubular reactors. SUBSTANCE: charging device including line that communicates with source of catalyst particles and is provided with feeder has case accommodating horizontal plates placed at certain distance from each other, each plate being provided with equal-size holes spaced apart and offset relative to each other so that in vertical projection onto adjacent plates holes are eccentric with those of adjacent plates and number of holes in next plate is at least greater by one than in preceding plate; outlet end of line is located above upper horizontal plate. EFFECT: improved uniformity of catalyst charge in reactor tubes. 1 dwg
