Abstract
A feed system for a smelting furnace having a plurality of feed chutes arranged in a spaced apart, circular array. The feed system includes a circular conveyor mounted adjacent the furnace and concentrically with the feed chutes. The conveyor also has a gap therein which permits the discharge of material downwardly into the feed chutes and means for rotating the conveyor about its axis of curvature to sequentially position the gap above successive feed chutes. In addition, one or more feed hoppers are positioned above the conveyor for depositing feed materials thereon.
