Anthracite coal is burned in travelling grate stokers because of the high ignition temperature.

Pellets of feed material are loaded onto a travelling grate where they are preheated by the rotary kiln's hot exit gases.

There are a number of different types, including: underfeed stokers static grates chain grates, travelling grates and spreader stoker systems.

Calcining is done in kilns of various types, including traditional vertical or rotary types, or more recently developed rotary hearth, travelling grate, fluo-solid and inclined vibratory types.

Dry Bottom, Tangential Fired Cyclone Furnace Travelling Grate (Overfeed) Stoker Spreader Stoker Atmospheric Fluidized Bed Combustion:

In the sinter plant, the iron bearing material mixed with coke breeze or coal and limestone or dolomite is spread on a continuous travelling grate (sinter strand) where combustion air is drawn in, and the mixture is ignited by natural gas or fuel oil.

Domestic incinerators consist of a moving grate, of which there are numerous designs and onto which the garbage is dumped (some of the more common designs are known as the roller grate, tilting grate, step type travelling grate and the inclined grate).
