Pusher Machines

Fully Automated “Manless” Operation

John M Henderson Machines have been designed for Fully Automated “Manless” Operation. This involves the incorporation of all necessary mechanical equipment on the machine with no requirement for an Operator or Benchman. The machine incorporates an Electronic Operator Terminal or Human Machine Interface (HMI) but has the facility to be operated from a control room overlooking the Battery.

The John M Henderson Pusher machines are designed for single spot operation and have the Ram Beam and Leveller Beam configured to suit battery operations. The Pusher Machine can be equipped with a combined Power and Fibre Optic Cable Reel ensuring excellent reliability of the communications via the Fibre Optic Cores.

Total Environmental Control

John M Henderson Pusher Machines are at the cutting edge of Coke Oven equipment technology. The JMH Emission Control System uses a Reverse Jet Bag Filter Unit to remove the dust from the high temperature gases. The Emissions are collected from both the Pushing and Levelling Ovens by means of hydraulically operated Stainless Steel Smoke Canopies which are ducted to the Bag Filter Unit.

In addition to the primary function equipment of the Ram Beam, Leveller Beam and the Intelligent Door Extractor, the Pusher Machine incorporates the following equipment:

JMH Water Jet Door Cleaner

Jamb Cleaner

Coke Spillage System

Leveller Smoke Sleeve

Leveller Door Operator

Leveller Door and Frame Cleaner

Leveller Coal Weighing System

Coal Spillage System

Emission Control System

Bench Safety Barriers

Bench Cleaner
