Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0790475A1] A process for charging ingots (11) of metal materials into a melting furnace (12) consists in pre-heating one single ingot by positioning it over the melting furnace mouth and plunging it into the fused material bath by a controlled lowering. Also provided is an automatic apparatus (1) for charging ingots (11) of metal materials into the melting furnace (12) which comprises at least one charge manipulator (2) consisting of a fixed support post (3), a transverse arm (4) slidably in engagement with the support post, a slide (7) slidably connected to the transverse arm, and a picking up unit (10) integral with the slide. <IMAGE>
