A feed assembly for a melter includes a funnel, an inlet into the funnel, and a fan baffle situated atop the funnel. The funnel is oriented along a vertical axis, and has a funnel surface that narrows towards an outlet into the melter. The inlet is angled tangent to and downward towards the funnel surface to inject meltable pellets onto the funnel surface in a vortex pattern. The fan baffle is situated atop the funnel, and has a plurality of blades angled to oppose the vortex pattern so as to permit airflow but redirect the meltable pellets from the inlet towards the funnel surface. |
