About MELTING CRUCIBLE FURNACE
MELTING CRUCIBLE FURNACE
Specifically designed for use in industry and education. Capable of melting a range of metals including aluminium,
brass, bronze, gold and silver. All valves and pipe work, including the whisper quiet blower fan, are included within the
self-contained cabinet. Safe operation is by panel mounted controls. Ignition is automatic and there is automatic flame
control with no user interaction required. On ignition, the crucible furnace is automatically put on low heat for about 5
minutes to preheat the chamber and crucible pot before ramping up to full heat input. This helps to reduce the risk of
thermal shock. With a motorised safety tilt system that is push-button operated from rest position to pouring position
and back. The unit can be held in one position by continuously pressing and releasing the tilt button. It can re-establish
firing conditions, maintain correct gas/air ratios and shut off safely if the mains electrical power or gas is cut off.
Efficient insulation and refractory materials give fast heating
