An installation for recycling contaminated scrap metal includes a furnace frame and a melting furnace arranged within the furnace frame and configured to tilt, and a hood-like housing. The melting furnace includes an upper melting furnace opening and a casting device configured to cast a metal melt produced in the melting furnace into a pan. The hood-like housing is positioned on a top of the melting furnace and surrounds and covers the upper melting furnace opening. The hood-like housing includes at least one door, and a flue gas removal system coupled to the hood-like housing in a gas-tight manner and configured to tilt along with the melting furnace.

A batch charge conveying system is provided for multiple electric induction furnaces where each one of the multiple furnaces has a separate charge conveying apparatus. An assembled batch charge is loaded on a single assembled batch charge transport apparatus that selectively delivers the assembled batch charge to a separate charge conveying apparatus associated with one of the multiple electric induction furnaces.

A transporting apparatus for rolling ingots, having at least one travelling carriage, includes a tilting frame and a guide frame, wherein the tilting frame has at least one longitudinally displaceable transporting carriage with a rail section, which is intended for accommodating an ingot rest and, for the purpose of forming a rail extension, can be positioned collinearly in relation to a furnace rail, and the guide frame has at least one hook carriage, which can be moved essentially parallel to the transporting carriage and comprises at least one tiltable hook for engaging in the ingot rest.

In one aspect, an electric furnace is provided with a double type melting furnace, which includes: a first upper cell that forms a first upper space of a first melting furnace in which a first iron source is introduced and molten; a second upper cell that is disposed in a horizontal direction of the first upper cell and forms a second upper space of a second melting furnace in which a second iron source is introduced and molten; a lower cell that is combined with lower portions of the first upper cell and the second upper cell and forms a single integrated space in which a first lower space of the first melting furnace and a second lower space of the second melting furnace are integrated; and a partition wall unit that is installed to vertically move up and down between the first upper cell and the second upper cell, and separates the first lower space of the first melting furnace and the second lower space of the second melting furnace, although both of the lower spaces are integrally formed by the lower cell.
