FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: shaft furnace contains a burning channel for charge loading, in its bottom part the products unloading device is installed with charge lowering device. In furnace top part has loading device containing device forming charge beds in form of the 3D manipulator installed above the furnace interacting with the device for products feeding to the furnace, and support for the formed beds in form of the horizontal movable forks created by set of parallel rods with rectangular cross-section connected with each other from one end and made with possibility of installation between product rows in the charge. Along perimeter of the furnace top edge the horizontal platform is made, installed with possibility of vertical reciprocative movement relatively to the furnace. On one side of the platform the movable cover is horizontally installed covering the burning channel from top. On the other relative the furnace side of the platform there are forks with drive ensuring horizontal reciprocative movement. In the extended work position the forks are located under the manipulator and above the burning channel cover.
EFFECT: production of high quality products, exclusion of product damages during loading regardless of the furnace size and number of products in the formed bed, exclusion of long furnace down time with opened cover, and assurance of the required burning modes.
