Crucible melting furnace for non-ferrous metal Schaefer Group
Electric Crucibles
Melting or holding, these popular furnaces deliver exceptional efficiency. With covers on, they use only 0.20 to 0.25 KW/hr per pound to melt cold metal and just 3 to 4 KW/hr to hold 1,000 pounds of molten aluminum at 1,220 degrees Fahrenheit. Electric crucibles use less energy than channel-type induction furnaces, and they provide more accurate temperature control. Both manual and power-operated tilt-type versions are also available.
