<p>A charger system for a furnace comprising a loading mechanism for loading scrap material into the furnace, the loading mechanism co-operating with the furnace to provide a substantially airtight arrangement whereby on opening of the furnace door to allow the scrap material to be loaded into the furnace the fumes normally emitted by the furnace are contained by the co-operation of the loading mechanism and the furnace to thereby prevent atmospheric pollution. In the same system, means may be provided for pre-heating the scrap material and for weighing the scrap prior to insertion into the furnace to provide more accurate control of the furnace operation.</p> |
