Tilting Crucible Furnace
Tilting crucible furnace, fuel, gas or induction fired, for small foundries
Overview
What it is and where it works
A crucible furnace that tilts to pour, powered by fuel, gas or induction. It suits small foundries, workshops and single die casting cells that melt in batches, change alloys often or need melting next to the machine. Induction versions stir the melt electromagnetically and avoid combustion gases in the metal.
Crucible capacity Up to 1,000 kg static, up to 1,500 kg tilting (fuel or electric crucible) Sized to your plant: tell us your target output.
- Melting rate
- About 250 kg Al/h electric, up to 400 kg Al/h fuel-fired
- Gas consumption
- Approx. 130 to 150 m³ of gas per tonne melted to 720 °C (cold-air burners)
- Induction
- Eddy currents stir the bath for mixing; no combustion inside the crucible
In your plant
Where It Is Used
- Melting next to a die casting or gravity casting cell
- Small foundries and pattern shops with frequent alloy changes
- Melting master alloys or special batches
- Backup melting capacity for a central furnace

Buyer questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Gas crucible or induction?
Gas units are cheaper to install where power is limited; induction gives cleaner melting and stirring but needs a strong power supply. Tell us your available kVA and energy costs and we compare both.
When does a crucible furnace stop making sense?
For larger continuous volumes crucible furnaces are no longer economic, and a tower or reverberatory furnace is the usual next step.
