The chip screw conveyor includes an auger-like screw configured to move metal turnings in a given direction. The conveyor includes a tubular housing and an input chute defining an input opening. A secondary feeder arm is pivoted to the conveyor housing. The arm is pivoted out of the way in direction when agglomerated scraps/chips are dumped threw input opening into the input chute. Once the chips are dumped in place, the arm is allowed to rotate downwardly to press on the top of the agglomerated scraps/chips. This prevents the chips from "bridging" between the sides of the input chute and prevents the scraps from "balling" or rolling on top of the screw in a manner that makes the screw ineffective. The arm creates sufficient force to press the scrap into engagement with the flutes of the screw. In an alternative embodiment, an arm includes a small secondary screw mounted to the arm for moving agglomerated scraps/chips along the arm and into engagement with the underlying screw. In yet another embodiment, an arm includes a vibrator for vibrating the arm to make it more effective. Claims The invention claimed is: 1. A screw conveyor apparatus for conveying agglomerated metal scrap that has a tendency to bridge and ball up in a manner reducing effectiveness of the screw conveyor apparatus, comprising:a screw conveyor including a housing defining an inlet chute with angled sides and a screw rotatable in the housing, the screw including an inlet end proximate the inlet chute, the housing and the screw being constructed from heavy-duty materials and designed to engage and convey highly-abrasive agglomerated metal scrap; and a feed assist operably mounted to the housing at the inlet chute, the feed assist being movable between a first position allowing addition of agglomerated metal scrap into the inlet end and movable to a second position for pressing the agglomerated metal scrap in the inlet end against an outer surface of the screw. 2. The apparatus defined in claim 1 wherein the feed assist includes an arm pivoted to the housing. 3. The apparatus defined in claim 2 wherein the arm is gravity actuated. 4. The apparatus defined in claim 3 wherein the arm is weighted. 5. The apparatus defined in claim 2 wherein the arm includes a first end hinged to the housing and an opposite end that is free to move up and down, with the opposite end being located closer to the inlet end than the first end. 6.

Description BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention concerns screw conveyors particularly adapted for handling agglomerated metal turnings and scrap from machining operations, and more particularly concerns a feed assist for use with a chip screw conveyor. Agglomerated metal scrap from machining and lathe operations is difficult to handle since the metal scrap material is intertwined and twisted, and is very abrasive. Problems arise when trying to convey this agglomerated metal scrap since it bunches up and bridges across side portions of a conveyor chute, preventing the conveyor screw from engaging the scrap material and thus making the screw ineffective. The metal scrap material will also form "tumbleweed" like masses that roll along a top of the conveyor screw against the operating direction of the conveyor screw. Accordingly, a feed assist is required that is relatively simple, and that will function in the environment of agglomerated metal scrap without itself causing a conveyor plugging problem. Further, it is preferable that any feed assist be compatible with existing equipment so that it is retrofitable. Accordingly, an improved apparatus and method solving the aforementioned problems is desired. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In one aspect, the present invention includes a screw conveyor apparatus including a screw conveyor. The screw conveyor includes a housing that defines an inlet chute and a screw rotatable in the housing with an end proximate the inlet chute. Further, the screw conveyor includes a feed assist operably mounted to the housing at the inlet. The feed assist is movable between a first position allowing addition of agglomerated metal scrap into the inlet chute and movable to a second position for pressing the agglomerated metal scrap material in the inlet against the outer surface of the screw. In another aspect, the present invention includes a method including steps of providing a screw conveyor with a feed assist positioned at an inlet end of the screw conveyor. The method also includes moving the feed assist to a first position permitting agglomerated scrap to be added to the inlet, adding agglomerated metal scrap to the inlet, moving the feed assist to a second position for pressing the agglomerated metal scrap onto the screw in the screw conveyor, and pressing the agglomerated metal scrap into engagement with the screw of the screw conveyor to assist in moving the agglomerated metal scrap while rotating the screw. These and other features, advantages and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.
