Inductotherm Corp., Rancocas, N.J., offers heavy steel shell furnaces, which combine the exceptional strength of a rugged steel shell with easy accessibility, making them ideal for melting a wide range of metals. According to the company, these are the most durable furnaces on the market today, as well as more efficient, more productive, and easier to maintain than competitive furnaces. Heavy steel shell furnaces are designed to be stronger than frame-based designs. They are ideal for melting all metals, including silicon.
They are also significantly quieter, thanks to the solid steel shell’s sound-deadening characteristics. For installations requiring even quieter performance, sound-absorbent insulation can be added inside the shell. Large access panels on every furnace are constructed from heavy steel to protect the coil during furnace operation.
The furnaces can be used with our back-slagging feature, push-out lining systems, weigh frames, pit guards, and more. They can be retrofitted with a variety of fume collectors and hoods. This includes our latest Vortex extraction hood, which can help companies comply with the strictest air pollution requirements.
Heavy Steel Shell Furnaces are also available with an optional wide-bodied design which have a significantly larger bath diameter and furnace opening and can be ideal depending on your application. They offer additional benefits such as lower installation costs, lower scrap costs and better access to slag.
