FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: reduction furnace comprises a loading opening, where an iron-containing material is loaded, the first guide plate inclined in the first direction in the reduction furnace, to guide the iron-containing material inside the reduction furnace, and the second guide plate fixed and inclined in the second direction, which crosses with the first direction in the reduction furnace, to direct the iron-containing material, which is discharged and guided by the first guide plate. At the same time the direction of the falling iron-containing material discharged and guided by the first guide plate varies, when the iron-containing material is sent by the second guide plate.
EFFECT: invention provides for distribution and prevents division of the iron-containing material by size during its loading.
