Industry’s single source for heat treat and melting solutions
MPH Electric Immersion Holding and Melting/Holding Furnace
Make a serious cut in your energy bill with a furnace that is close to 100% efficient! Available in capacities ranging from 2800-8400 lbs with melt rates from 400-1000 lbs/hr. The specially designed heating elements are tubular type and are mounted in a ceramic block that floats in the bath. These furnaces are set up with dual operating parameters to allow for automatic restart and slow ramp up after a prolonged power outage. Once the zinc is molten, the controller will automatically switch back to the original operating parameters for normal operation. Design can be customized to fit your casting cell with automated scrap return.
