Coking plants

Schalke ironworks Maschinenfabrik develops and builds Coking plants around the coke oven.

The coke oven are filled with zero emissions with a charging car with coking coal. The hot coke is pushed with the pushers from the chamber. The chamber doors are opened and closed hermetically. With the coke transfer machine the hot coke is fed into the Kokslöschfahrzeug. A stationary filtration system sucks all applicable emissions. In the fire truck the hot coke will be deleted. Schalke is setting up for both existing extinguishing systems, machinery and vehicles. ( Wet quenching in the quenching tower ( CSQ - Stabilizing Coke quenching), dry quenching in a Kokstrockenkühlanlage ( KTK ) )

Schalke ironworks Maschinenfabrik GmbH builds tailor-made rail vehicles.

In mining for underground use Schalke developed a unit locomotive in all mines of the Ruhr coal AG (RAG), today German coal AG ( DSK ), is employed. For the world's leading copper producer Codelco Schalke built zehn130 -ton locomotives of that transport copper ore in the mine El Teniente, 365 days a year.

As of 2008, the Schalke ironworks Maschinenfabrik GmbH has started to design standard gauge locomotives for main line railways. These locomotives are named SDE 1800 ( S stands for SCHALKE, DE for Dieselelktrisch and the number for the power in kW ). The locomotive is 17 m long and 3 m wide and weighs 80 tonnes, it has an MTU 12V 4000 R43 engine, a top speed of 120 km / h
