ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for charging anode scrap into a converting furnace in a continuous copper smelting line without impairing the heat balance of the furnace. Anode scrap is moved into the opening of a chute by means of a charging mechanism. An outer shutter of the furnace is opened and an inner shutter is closed. After closing the outer shutter the inner shutter is opened and anode scrap is charged into the converting furnace. The operation is continuously repeated as the anode scrap is continuously conveyed into the converting furnace. The temperature of the furnace is maintained substantially constant since it is not exposed to ambient air temperature.
