Smelting furnace for precious metals
Effortlessly achieve precise smelting and refining with advanced temperature control, optimizing the transformation of raw precious metals into high-quality ingots, bars, and alloys.
Melts and Refines Precious Metals
The SCF Series from Carbolite Gero is a robust top-loading crucible furnace engineered specifically for the smelting and refining of precious metals. Featuring silicon carbide heating elements and a refractory brick hearth, this furnace ensures uniform heating for optimal melting processes. Designed to handle various operations such as batch and manual smelting, it is ideal for transforming raw materials into refined gold, silver, or platinum products. The SCF furnaces come with vented lids and protective silicon carbide tiles, ensuring safe operation in industrial environments. With configurations available for different volumes, the SCF 4, SCF 8, SCF 24, and SCF 48 models cater to diverse processing needs. These furnaces support integration into metal processing lines with options for digital control interfaces like RS232 or Ethernet, providing flexibility and control. Constructed from durable materials, these furnaces resist high temperatures and corrosive conditions, making them suitable for jewelry manufacturing, metal refining, and laboratory settings.
