The grate includes a number of grate lanes arranged side by side between a left and a right side section, neighbouring lanes being connected by a midsection and including a lane section having a number of pivotal grate shafts carrying grate bars. Each midsection includes an upper relatively narrow housing section arranged between grate bars of neighbouring lanes and a lower relatively broad housing section protruding under grate bars of said lanes. The upper housing section of each midsection encloses bearings for grate shaft ends of neighbouring lanes. At least one midsection includes a drive mechanism for pivoting back and forth neighbouring grate shafts in opposite rotational directions and a synchronising mechanism of at least one lane section. An actuator of said drive mechanism and said synchronising mechanism are located in the lower housing section of said midsection.

The plate-formed grate element (1, 2) has a top wall (12), a bottom wall (13), a front end (14) and a back end (15). The front end has a lower inwardly curved wall portion (16) adapted to maintain a predetermined clearance with a back tip edge of a corresponding grate element. An internal cooling fluid chamber (18) includes an internal front cooling fluid channel (19) extending along the front end (14) of the grate element. The grate element has an outwardly curved front wall (22) having a nominal wall thickness varying by less than +35 percent and extending from the top wall of the grate element to the lower inwardly curved wall portion of the front end, and a front tip edge (23) of the front end is formed by the outwardly curved front wall at its connection with the lower inwardly curved wall portion.
