<p>An apparatus for melting down chips of, e.g., aluminum into a molten bath of a melting furnace for, e.g., aluminum. A charging vessel is installed in the molten bath of the melting furnace, and has an opening kept above the surface of the molten bath, an inlet port through which molten metal flows from the melting furnace into the charging vessel, and an outlet port located below the surface of the molten bath. A discharge pipe is attached to the discharge side of a pump for conveying the molten metal, and has a sidewall provided with an intake port connected with the outlet port of the charging vessel for returning the molten metal into the melting furnace through the discharge pipe. The apparatus can realize a drastically improved efficiency in melting chips, while preventing the oxidation of the chips.</p> |
