Abstract
An agitator assembly for use with a melting furnace such as used for preparing metal to mold bullets has a motor mount slidably disposed on a support arrangement for movement toward and away from the furnace. Rotated by a motor mounted on the motor mount is an agitator element selectively inserted into and removed from the furnace by appropriate movement of the motor mount. A cover plate also is movably mounted on the support arrangement for placement over the access opening of the furnace to prevent splash from the furnace whenever the agitator element is operating within the furnace.
