The grate bars consist of several iron bars and serve to ensure combustion of fuel in the kilns. This is due to the supply of oxygen in the lower layer of the firebox. If the iron bars are not available, combustion in the furnaces is impossible, since without oxygen access the combustion process will not occur.

Advantages of the cast iron grateconsider the example of a bath, where high temperature plays a major role in the supply of steam. If you install grates made of steel, then, when heated to a temperature of 1000 ° C, scaling will occur, which will lead to the destruction of the grate. Therefore, all the cast iron bars are made of heat-resistant cast iron, which can withstand a high heating temperature.
