Preheating removes moisture from scrap material prior to furnace charging and helps reduce this danger. 2. Increased Melt Rate. With preheating steel, a large part of the melt energy is introduced into the metal outside of the electric arc furnace. Preheating scrap material to 1200° F can increase induction furnace melt rates by as much as 20%.

— The electric arc furnace is charged with scrap by means of an elevator system. A hopper transports the scrap from a charging station in the scrap yard to the shaft, eliminating the need for cranes and baskets. A defined duty cycle or a precise charging time can be specified and, if required, the charging process can also be fully automated.
