ABSTRACT:
A hood for capturing fumes and dust generated during operating of a metal melting furnace including an integral conveyor for charging the furnace. The furnace has an upwardly opening mouth covered by a lid. The hood overlies the lid to capture fumes and dust emanating from the furnace during melting, slagging, pouring, and associated furnace operations. An opening is provided in the hood for insertion of material, e.g., scrap metal, into the furnace. The instant invention includes a conveyor flexibly, e.g., pivotally, mounted between the hood and the lid. The hood opening includes a hopper mounted above the conveyor and opening through the hood into the conveyor. The illustrated system further includes an opening through the furnace lid and a chute adjacent the furnace lid opening for engaging a distal end of the conveyor when the conveyor is moved into a use position. A door is provided to close the distal end of the conveyor when the conveyor is not moving material into the furnace. Another door, which is gravity urged into a closed position, is opened by the conveyor as the conveyor moves from its storage position to its use position. Return movement by the conveyor to its storage position allows this last-mentioned door to close.
