The gas flow can thus be fed through at least one drill hole (2) on whose side projecting towards the inside of the reactor there is a gas oulet gap, and a shaft (5) pretensioned against the gas pressure and provided with a sealing element (4) to seal the gas outlet gap (3) is inserted through the drill hole (2).de608610620660patent1995-19505257
