Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Continuous furnace equipment generally tends to be larger in size than batch-type furnace equipment. Therefore, when installing continuous furnace equipment in a place with space constraints (for example, when loading on a vehicle) and when it is desired to process a large amount of raw materials with continuous furnace equipment, it is necessary to input as much raw material as possible into the space that the furnace equipment can occupy. However, when a large amount of raw materials are input into a limited space, the raw materials are excessively piled up in a convoluted and high manner inside the furnace equipment, the raw materials themselves become in a dense state, which becomes a factor inhibiting the supply of heat and air to the raw materials.

[0005] The present disclosure has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a furnace facility having a structure that can avoid the transported materials from piling up in a hump-like manner, can secure the overall transport distance, and is easily made compact.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the furnace facility of the present disclosure employs the following means. A plurality of transport devices for transporting at least one of carbide and carbonized material as transported materials, and a container that houses the plurality of transport devices and also serves as a drying chamber for drying the carbide and a carbonization furnace for producing carbonized material by carbonizing the carbide. The plurality of transport devices are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the transport directions of the transport devices adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are opposite, and the transported material transported by the upper transport device among the transport devices adjacent to each other in the vertical direction falls to a position between the front end and the rear end in the transport direction of the lower transport device. It is provided with a plurality of transported material analysis units for analyzing the components of the transported material and a control unit. Each of the transported material analysis units is associated with each of the transport devices and is installed in the downstream portion of each of the transport devices. The control unit identifies an optimal reaction time for carbonizing the carbide in the carbonization furnace based on the components of the transported material analyzed by one of the transported material analysis units, and determines the transport speed of one of the transport devices corresponding to one of the transported material analysis units based on the identified reaction time.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a furnace facility having a structure that can avoid the transported materials from piling up in a hump-like manner, can secure the overall transport distance, and is easily made compact.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] [First Embodiment] Hereinafter, a furnace facility according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0010] [Regarding the basic structure of the furnace facility] A furnace facility 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a carbonization furnace facility / reactor facility that manufactures carbides W2 such as biochar and biofuel using a carbonizable material W1 such as woody biomass as a raw material and uses the carbides W2 as products. Hereinafter, the furnace facility 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described by taking the furnace facility 100 as a carbonization furnace facility as an example.

[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the furnace facility 100 includes, for example, a drying chamber 111, a carbonization furnace 112, and a plurality of conveyors (transport devices) 130. The furnace facility 100 may also include a control unit 170.

[0012] The control unit 170 is a device that executes control necessary for the operation of the furnace facility 100, such as control of each device (each transport device (including a drive unit), each measurement unit, and each analysis unit) included in the furnace facility 100, processing of information acquired from each device, and relaying of signal transmission and reception between each device. The control unit 170 (Controller) includes, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit: processor), a main memory device (Main Memory), a secondary storage device (Secondary storage: memory), etc. Further, the control unit 170 may include a communication unit for transmitting and receiving information to and from other devices. The main memory device is composed of a writable memory such as a cache memory, a RAM (Random Access Memory), etc., and is used as a working area for reading the execution program of the CPU, writing processing data by the execution program, etc. The secondary storage device is a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The secondary storage device is, for example, a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, etc. A series of processes for realizing various functions are stored in the secondary storage device in the form of a program as an example. The CPU reads this program into the main memory device and executes information processing and arithmetic processing, thereby realizing various functions. Note that the program may be in a form pre-installed in the secondary storage device, a form provided in a state stored in a computer-readable storage medium, a form distributed via wired or wireless communication means, etc. The computer-readable storage medium is a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, a semiconductor memory, etc.

[0013] The furnace facility 100 is a continuous carbonization furnace facility in which a drying chamber 111 and a carbonization furnace 112 are integrally provided in the same space.

[0014] The drying chamber 111 is a chamber for drying the carbide W1 before it enters the carbonization furnace 112, which is the carbide W1 supplied from the outside. The carbonization furnace 112 is a furnace for producing the carbide W2 by carbonizing the carbide W1 by combustion in an oxygen-deficient environment.

[0015] These drying chamber 111 and carbonization furnace 112 are defined by a container 101. That is, the container 101 also serves as the drying chamber 111 and the carbonization furnace 112.

[0016] The container 101 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a space is formed inside. At this time, inside the container 101, the drying chamber 111 is located above and the carbonization furnace 112 is located below. However, the drying chamber 111 and the carbonization furnace 112 are not clearly partitioned with a fixed boundary. Inside the container 101, it is only necessary that the process from the drying of the material to be carbonized W1 to the carbonization (that is, from the drying of the material to be carbonized W1 to the production of the carbide W2) is continuously performed from above to below.

[0017] The plurality of conveyors 130 are accommodated in the container 101. The plurality of conveyors 130 include, for example, a conveyor 130a, a conveyor 130b, a conveyor 130c, a conveyor 130d, and a conveyor 130e. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each conveyor 130, the reference numerals 130a to 130e are used. When not distinguishing each conveyor 130, the reference numeral 130 is used. Note that the number of the conveyors 130 can be changed as appropriate.

[0018] Each conveyor 130 is a device on which a conveyed object (at least one of the material to be carbonized W1 and the carbide W2) is placed and which conveys the conveyed object. Each conveyor 130 is driven by a drive unit (not shown) and is configured to be able to change the conveyance speed. Further, the conveyor 130a, the conveyor 130b, the conveyor 130c, the conveyor 130d, and the conveyor 130e are each configured to be able to individually change their respective conveyance speeds. Each conveyor 130 has a front end 131 and a rear end 132 in the conveyance direction. The front end 131 is an end at which the conveyed object advances, and the rear end 132 is an end opposite to the front end 131.

[0019] Each conveyor 130 is arranged inside the container 101 at intervals in the vertical direction. In the case of this embodiment, the conveyor 130a, the conveyor 130b, the conveyor 130c, the conveyor 130d, and the conveyor 130e are arranged at intervals from top to bottom.

[0020] For each conveyor 130, the conveying directions of the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction are opposite to each other. In the case of this embodiment, the conveying directions of the conveyors 130a, 130c, and 130e are the directions from the rear to the front of the container 101, and the conveying directions of the conveyors 130b and 130d are the directions from the front to the rear of the container 101. Note that the front and rear of the container 101 do not necessarily coincide with the front and rear in the conveying direction. In the case of this embodiment, the front and rear in the conveying directions of the conveyors 130b and 130d do not coincide with the front and rear of the container 101.

[0021] Among the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the front end 131 of the upper conveyor 130 is arranged between the front end 131 and the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130 in the direction along the conveying direction of the lower conveyor 130 (the front - rear direction of the container 101, the left - right direction in FIG. 2). As a result, the conveyed object conveyed by the upper conveyor 130 falls to a position between the front end 131 and the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130.

[0022] Here, when the position of the front end 131 of the lower conveyor 130 is 100% and the position of the rear end 132 is 0%, the front end 131 of the upper conveyor 130 is preferably located in the range of 0% - 50%, more preferably in the range of 0% - 25%, and even more preferably in the range of 0% - 10% of the lower conveyor 130. As a result, the conveyed object can be dropped from the upper conveyor 130 to a position close to the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130. Thus, the conveyance of the conveyed object that makes full use of the length in the conveying direction of each conveyor 130 can be realized, and the overall conveying distance is easily ensured. This leads to efficiently ensuring the time required for drying and carbonization.

[0023] By installing each conveyor in this way, it is possible to avoid the transported objects from piling up in a convoluted and high manner on each conveyor 130, and while ensuring the overall transport distance, shorten the size of each conveyor 130 in the transport direction, and thus make the furnace equipment 100 more compact.

[0024] Note that the conveyor 130 only needs to be configured to transport the transported object, and its specific form is not particularly limited. Also, even if the front end 131 of the upper conveyor 130 is not arranged between the front end 131 and the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130 in the direction along the transport direction of the lower conveyor 130 (the front-rear direction of the container 101, the left-right direction in FIG. 2), for example, the front end 131 of the upper conveyor 130 can be arranged behind the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130, and a chute can be installed at the dropping point of the transported object transported by the upper conveyor 130, and the dropped transported object can be guided by the chute to the transport surface of the lower conveyor 130 (for example, the position between the front end 131 and the rear end 132). Even with this method, as a result, the transported object transported by the upper conveyor 130 will fall at a position between the front end 131 and the rear end 132 of the lower conveyor 130.

[0025] At the upper part of the container 101, a raw material input part 141 is provided. The raw material input part 141 is a device for inputting the carbide W1 as a raw material from the outside of the container 101 into the inside of the container 101. The lower end of the raw material input part 141 is an opening from which the carbide W1 is discharged, and it is located above the vicinity of the rear end 132 of the conveyor 130a, at a position where the input carbide W1 surely falls onto the conveyor 130a.

[0026] The carbide W1 input from the raw material input part 141 is transported from the vicinity of the rear end 132 to the front end 131 of the conveyor 130a and falls near the rear end 132 of the conveyor 130b. The conveyed material that has fallen near the rear end 132 of the conveyor 130b is conveyed from near the rear end 132 to the front end 131 of the conveyor 130b and then falls near the rear end 132 of the conveyor 130c. Hereinafter, by repeating such conveyance and dropping, the conveyed material is conveyed to the front end 131 of the conveyor 130e. During the conveyance process, the conveyed material is dried and carbonized. The conveyed material that has been conveyed to the front end 131 of the conveyor 130e is discharged outside the container 101 as carbide W2 (product).

[0027] At this time, it is preferable that each conveyor 130 is arranged such that the front end 131 is lower than the rear end 132. That is, it is preferable that each conveyor 130 is inclined so that the front end 131 is lower. This is because by inclining the conveyor 130, the conveyed material that has fallen onto the conveyor 130 collapses toward the front end 131. As a result, the conveyed material on the conveying surface of the conveyor 130 is leveled to a substantially uniform layer thickness, and the drying and carbonization of the conveyed material can be performed uniformly. In the sense that the conveyed material collapses toward the front end 131, it is preferable that the inclination angle of each conveyor 130 is determined in consideration of the angle of repose of the conveyed material. Note that each conveyor 130 may be configured such that its respective inclination angle can be individually changed.

[0028] <Regarding additional structures of the furnace equipment (supply of heat quantity)> The furnace equipment 100 may include a plurality of heat supply units 151. The heat supply unit 151 is a part configured to supply heat quantity, and examples include a device for supplying heated steam and an electric heater. The plurality of heat supply units 151 include, for example, a heat supply unit 151a, a heat supply unit 151b, a heat supply unit 151c, a heat supply unit 151d, and a heat supply unit 151e. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each heat supply unit 151, reference numerals 151a to 151e are used. When not distinguishing each heat supply unit 151, the reference numeral 151 is used.

[0029] Each heat supply unit 151 is disposed inside the container 101 between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction and above the conveyor 130a. In the case of FIG. 2, two heat supply units 151 are disposed at two locations each between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction and above the conveyor 130a. However, the number and arrangement of the heat supply units 151 can be changed as appropriate. The heat supply units 151a, 151b, 151c, 151d, and 151e can individually change the respective heat amounts to be supplied as appropriate.

[0030] By disposing the heat supply unit 151, the heat amount necessary for drying or carbonization can be supplied to the conveyed material. Also, by disposing the heat supply unit 151 between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the heat amount can be uniformly supplied to the conveyed material.

[0031] <Regarding additional structure of furnace equipment (gas supply)> When the carbonization furnace 112 of the furnace equipment 100 is a self-igniting furnace, the furnace equipment 100 may include a plurality of gas supply units 161. The gas supply unit 161 is a part configured to supply a gas as an oxidant necessary for combustion (for example, a gas containing oxygen such as air). The gas is guided from the outside to the gas supply unit 161 by, for example, a device (not shown). The plurality of gas supply units 161 includes, for example, a gas supply unit 161a, a gas supply unit 161b, a gas supply unit 161c, a gas supply unit 161d, and a gas supply unit 161e. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each gas supply unit 161, reference numerals 161a to 161e are used. When not distinguishing each gas supply unit 161, the reference numeral 161 is used.

[0032] Each gas supply unit 161 is disposed inside the container 101 between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction and above the conveyor 130a. In the case of FIG. 2, the gas supply units 161 are arranged at two locations each between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction and above the conveyor 130a. However, the number and arrangement of the gas supply units 161 can be changed as appropriate. The gas supply unit 161a, the gas supply unit 161b, the gas supply unit 161c, the gas supply unit 161d, and the gas supply unit 161e can each appropriately change the amount of the respective gas to be supplied individually.

[0033] By arranging the gas supply unit 161, the gas required for carbonization can be supplied to the conveyed material. Also, by arranging the gas supply unit 161 between the conveyors 130 adjacent to each other in the vertical direction, the gas can be uniformly supplied to the conveyed material.

[0034] When the gas supply unit 161 is provided, each conveyor 130 preferably has a communication part 135 through which gas can pass in the vertical direction. The communication part 135 is, for example, a hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface of the conveyor 130. The hole only needs to be configured so that gas can surely pass through, and its specific shape is not particularly limited. The communication part 135 is realized, for example, by adopting a mesh conveyor as the conveyor 130.

[0035] By providing the communication part 135, gas can easily move in the vertical direction inside the container 101, and the gas required for carbonization can be uniformly supplied.

[0036] <Regarding control based on the components of the conveyed material> The furnace facility 100 may include a plurality of conveyed material analysis units 171. The conveyed material analysis unit 171 is a means for analyzing the components of the conveyed material. The "components of the conveyed material" mentioned here are, for example, the water content, fixed carbon, volatile matter, etc. contained in the conveyed material.

[0037] The plurality of conveyed material analysis units 171 includes, for example, a conveyed material analysis unit 171a, a conveyed material analysis unit 171b, a conveyed material analysis unit 171c, a conveyed material analysis unit 171d, and a conveyed material analysis unit 171e. Each of the conveyed material analysis units 171a to 171e is configured to be able to analyze the components of the conveyed materials on each of the conveyors 130a to 130e and / or the components of the conveyed materials near each of the conveyors 130a to 130e. Therefore, for example, the conveyed material analysis units 171a to 171e are installed at positions corresponding to the positions where the conveyors 130a to 130e are installed. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each of the conveyed material analysis units 171, the symbols 171a to 171e are used. When not distinguishing each of the conveyed material analysis units 171, the symbol 171 is used.

[0038] At least one of the conveyance speed of each conveyor 130 and the amount of the carbide W1 input from the raw material input unit 141 is adjusted based on the analysis result of each conveyed material analysis unit 171. For example, the control unit 170 identifies the drying time optimal for drying the conveyed material and the reaction time optimal for carbonizing the conveyed material based on the analysis results of each conveyed material analysis unit 171, and increases / decreases at least one conveyance speed of each conveyor 130 or increases / decreases the input amount of the carbide W1 based on the identified drying time and reaction time. As a specific example, the control unit 170 identifies the drying time optimal for drying the conveyed material and the reaction time optimal for carbonizing the conveyed material based on the analysis result of the conveyed material analysis unit 171a, and increases / decreases the conveyance speed of the conveyor 130a located upstream of the conveyed material analysis unit 171a based on the identified drying time and reaction time. Similarly, the control unit 170 can individually increase / decrease the conveyance speeds of the conveyors 130b to 130e located upstream of each of them based on the analysis results of the conveyed material analysis units 171b to 171e.

[0039] In addition to or instead of adjusting at least one of the conveyance speed of each conveyor 130 and the amount of carbide W1 input from the raw material input section 141, the amount of heat supplied from each heat supply section 151 or the amount of gas supplied from each gas supply section 161 is adjusted based on the analysis results of each conveyed material analysis section 171. For example, the control unit 170 identifies the drying time optimal for drying the conveyed material and the reaction time optimal for carbonizing the conveyed material based on the analysis results of each conveyed material analysis section 171, and increases / decreases the amount of heat supplied from each heat supply section 151 or increases / decreases the amount of gas supplied from each gas supply section 161 based on the identified drying time and reaction time. As a specific example, the control unit 170 identifies the drying time optimal for drying the conveyed material and the reaction time optimal for carbonizing the conveyed material based on the analysis results of the conveyed material analysis section 171a, and increases / decreases the amount of heat supplied from the heat supply section 151a located upstream of the conveyed material analysis section 171a or the amount of gas supplied from the gas supply section 161a based on the identified drying time and reaction time. Similarly, the control unit 170 can individually increase / decrease the amount of heat supplied from the heat supply sections 151b to 151e located upstream of each or the amount of gas supplied from the gas supply sections 161b to 161e based on the analysis results of the conveyed material analysis sections 171b to 171e.

[0040] <Control based on the components and / or temperature of the gas> The furnace facility 100 may include a plurality of gas analysis sections 172. The furnace facility 100 may include a plurality of gas thermometers 173. Note that the furnace facility 100 may include only one of the gas analysis section 172 and the gas thermometer 173, or may include both.

[0041] The gas analysis section 172 is a means for analyzing the components of the gas generated inside the container 101 (specifically, the carbonization furnace 112 and / or the drying chamber 111). The "gas" referred to here is exhaust gas, pyrolysis gas, etc. generated by drying, combustion, or carbonization of the conveyed material. In addition, the "gas components" mentioned here refer to, for example, water vapor, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons such as methane, etc. contained in the gas.

[0042] Each gas temperature measurement unit 173 is a means for measuring the temperature of the gas generated inside the container 101.

[0043] The plurality of gas analysis units 172 include, for example, a gas analysis unit 172a, a gas analysis unit 172b, a gas analysis unit 172c, a gas analysis unit 172d, and a gas analysis unit 172e. Each of the gas analysis units 172a to 172e is configured to be able to analyze the components of the gas generated from the conveyed material on each conveyor 130a to 130e and / or the components of the gas generated from the conveyed material near each conveyor 130a to 130e. Therefore, for example, the gas analysis units 172a to 172e are installed at positions corresponding to the positions where the conveyors 130a to 130e are installed. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each gas analysis unit 172, the symbols 172a to 172e are used. When not distinguishing each gas analysis unit 172, the symbol 172 is used.

[0044] The plurality of gas temperature measurement units 173 include, for example, a gas temperature measurement unit 173a, a gas temperature measurement unit 173b, a gas temperature measurement unit 173c, a gas temperature measurement unit 173d, and a gas temperature measurement unit 173e. Each of the gas temperature measurement units 173a to 173e is configured to be able to measure the temperature of the gas generated from the conveyed material on each conveyor 130a to 130e and / or the temperature of the gas generated from the conveyed material near each conveyor 130a to 130e. Therefore, for example, the gas temperature measurement units 173a to 173e are installed at positions corresponding to the positions where the conveyors 130a to 130e are installed. Hereinafter, when distinguishing each gas temperature measurement unit 173, the symbols 173a to 173e are used. When not distinguishing each gas temperature measurement unit 173, the symbol 173 is used.

[0045] At least one of the conveyance speeds of the conveyors 130 and the amount of carbide workpieces W1 input from the raw material input section 141 is adjusted based on the analysis results of the gas analysis sections 172 and / or the measured values of the gas thermometers 173. For example, the control unit 170 can increase / decrease the conveyance speed of at least one of the conveyors 130 and / or increase / decrease the input amount of the carbide workpieces W1 based on the analysis results of the gas analysis sections 172 and / or the measured values of the gas thermometers 173. As a specific example, the control unit 170 can increase / decrease the conveyance speed of the conveyor 130a located upstream of the gas analysis section 172a and / or the gas thermometer 173a based on the analysis result of the gas analysis section 172a and / or the measured value of the gas thermometer 173a. Similarly, the control unit 170 can individually increase / decrease the conveyance speeds of the conveyors 130b to 130e located upstream of each of them based on the analysis results of the gas analysis sections 172b to 172e and / or the measured values of the gas thermometers 173b to 173e.

[0046] In addition to or instead of adjusting at least one of the conveyance speeds of the conveyors 130 and the amount of carbide workpieces W1 input from the raw material input section 141, the amount of heat supplied from each heat supply section 151 or the amount of gas supplied from each gas supply section 161 is adjusted based on the analysis results of the gas analysis sections 172 and / or the measured values of the gas thermometers 173. For example, based on the analysis results of each gas analysis unit 172 and / or the measured values of each gas thermometer 173, the control unit 170 can increase / decrease the amount of heat supplied from each heat supply unit 151 or increase / decrease the amount of gas supplied from each gas supply unit 161. As a specific example, based on the analysis results of the gas analysis unit 172a and / or the measured values of the gas thermometer 173a, the control unit 170 can increase / decrease the amount of heat supplied from the heat supply unit 151a located upstream of the gas analysis unit 172a and / or the gas thermometer 173a or the amount of gas supplied from the gas supply unit 161a. Similarly, based on the analysis results of the gas analysis units 172b to 172e and / or the measured values of the gas thermometers 173b to 173e, the control unit 170 can individually increase / decrease the amount of heat supplied from the heat supply units 151b to 151e located upstream of each or the amount of gas supplied from the gas supply units 161b to 161e.

[0047] According to the furnace facility according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. The conveyors 130 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the conveying directions of the adjacent conveyors 130 in the vertical direction are opposite, and the conveyed object conveyed by the upper conveyor 130 among the conveyors 130 adjacent in the vertical direction falls to a position between the front end 131 and the rear end 132 in the conveying direction of the lower conveyor 130. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the conveyed objects from being piled up in a disorderly manner on each conveyor 130, and while ensuring the overall conveying distance, the size of each conveyor 130 in the conveying direction can be shortened, and thus the furnace facility 100 can be made compact.

[0048] Since each conveyor 130 is arranged such that the front end 131 in the conveying direction is lower than the rear end 132, the conveyed object that has fallen onto the conveyor 130 collapses toward the front end 131. As a result, the conveyed objects on the conveying surface of the conveyor 130 are leveled to a substantially uniform layer thickness. Thereby, the drying and carbonization of the conveyed objects can be performed uniformly.

[0049] It is provided with a plurality of heat supply units 151 that supply heat. Since each heat supply unit 151 is arranged between the conveyors 130 adjacent in the vertical direction and above the uppermost conveyor 130a, the heat required for drying and carbonization can be uniformly supplied to the material to be carbonized W1.

[0050] It is provided with a plurality of gas supply units 161 that supply a gas as an oxidizing agent.

Further, the furnace equipment 200 may include a carbonization furnace 212 and a conveyor 238. Further, the furnace equipment 200 may include a control unit 270.

[0054] The drying chamber 211 is defined by a first container 201. The first container 201 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a space as the drying chamber 211 is formed inside.

[0055] The carbonization furnace 212 is defined by the second container 202. The second container 202 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a space as the carbonization furnace 212 is formed inside.

Also, the height of the conveying surface of the conveyor 238 is substantially the same as the height of the conveying surface at the front end 231 of the conveyor 230c located at the lowermost stage inside the first container 201. Thereby, the conveyed object can smoothly transfer from the conveyor 230c to the conveyor 238.

[0059] Note that the conveyor 238 only needs to be configured to convey the conveyed object, and its specific form is not particularly limited.

[0068] At least one of the conveyance speed of each conveyor 230 and the amount of the carbide W1 input from the raw material input unit 241 is adjusted based on the analysis result of each gas analysis unit 272 and / or the measurement value of each gas temperature measurement unit 273.

[0070] According to the furnace facility according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. The conveyors 230 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, the conveying directions of the adjacent conveyors 230 in the vertical direction are opposite, and the conveyed object conveyed by the upper conveyor 230 among the conveyors 230 adjacent in the vertical direction falls at a position between the front end 231 and the rear end 232 in the conveying direction of the lower conveyor 230. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the conveyed objects from being piled up in a disorderly manner on each conveyor 230, and while ensuring the overall conveying distance, the size of each conveyor 230 in the conveying direction can be shortened, and thus the furnace facility 200 can be made compact.

[0071] Since each conveyor 230 is arranged such that the front end 231 in the conveying direction is lower than the rear end 232, the conveyed object that has fallen onto the conveyor 230 collapses toward the front end 231. As a result, the conveyed objects on the conveying surface of the conveyor 230 are leveled to a substantially uniform layer thickness. Thereby, the drying and carbonization of the conveyed objects can be performed uniformly.

[0072] It is provided with a plurality of heat supply units 251 that supply heat.
