The invention relates to a method for charging coking-oven chambers of the "heat recovery" or "non-recovery" type, in which method coking-oven chambers are loaded by means of a setting-base which is brought up to the coking-oven chambers for the purpose of charging same. Prior to the charging of the coking-oven chambers, this setting-base is provided with stacked pressed coal blocks or with a finished coal cake and is brought up to the coking-oven chambers in order to charge them, these coking-oven chambers being loaded with the setting-base being pulled out from the coking-oven chamber at the end-face, or by means of a ram. Prior to loading with coal, said setting-base is provided with a layer of particles in order to reduce adhesive forces and thus stop the coal cake or the coal compacts from baking onto said setting-base. The invention also relates to a device comprising a setting-base equipped with an adhesive layer which consists of particles that reduce adhesive forces.
