Final processing of exposed top surface of coal cake compacted in tamped box for coking, comprises raising and lowering stamp element under relative movement of stamp element parallel to top surface in longitudinal direction of coal cake

Final processing of an exposed top surface (6, 7) of a coal cake (2) compacted in a tamped box (1) for coking, comprises successively raising and lowering at least a stamp element (4) under a relative movement of the stamp element parallel to the top surface in the longitudinal direction of the coal cake. An independent claim is also included for a device for final processing of the exposed top surface of the coal cake compacted in the tamped box for coking, comprising at least one stamp element, which acts on the top surface, and a device, which is provided in the longitudinal direction of the top surface, for generating a relative movement between the stamp element and the top surface, where the stamp elements raisable from the top surface and lowerable to the top surface are arranged in a row along the longitudinal axis of the top surface. Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur abschließenden Bearbeitung der freiliegenden Oberseite (6) eines in einem Stampfkasten (1) verdichteten Kohlekuchens (2) für die Verkokung. Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Bearbeitung der Oberseite ausschließlich durch aufeinanderfolgendes Anheben und Absenken eines Stempelelements (4) unter Relativbewegung des Stempelelements (4) parallel zu der Oberseite (6).
