Abstract
Apparatus for continuously conveying and pre-heating a metal charge inside a container of a melting plant, comprising at least a conveyor channel, having walls to convey the metal charge, and at least a hood defining a conveyor tunnel and/or an expansion chamber. The hood is disposed above the conveyor channel for the transit of at least part of the fumes exiting from the container, and the conveyor channel cooperates with apertures to discharge the fumes. The apertures cooperate with at least a fume diverting channel defining at least a first expansion compartment, located substantially vertical or sub-vertical, connected both to the apertures and also to at least a channel to take in the fumes.
