<p>The invention comprises a double loop channel type induction furnace of which the floor has a base on a first side of its hearth and a ramp which rises from the base to terminate in a plateau above the passages at a location distal from the first side. The ramp and plateau extends at least partly between opposing end walls of the furnace, and the plateau includes a trench which extends at least partly between opposing ends of the plateau. The trench is in fluid communication with the passages and the bottom of the trench is located in a plane higher than the plane in which the furnace floor is located. The base of the furnace floor is in fluid communication with the central passage by means of a floor passage that extends from the base of the floor to the central passage through the ramp below the trench.</p> |
