Abstract:
    A device for changing tap runners in shaft furnaces includes tap runners which have linings subject to wear and therefore such runners must be repaired regularly. Transport of the runner requires a considerable crane capacity with correspondingly heavy building construction. The device according to the invention permits transport of the tap runner without a casting room crane. Instead, the tap runner is raised or lowered between the mill floor, or another level, and a tapping platform by means of hydraulically driven traction elements taking support on runner supports arranged at tapping platform level.
