Available in 2
Sizes: E4-O, EM-810
E4-O
Bench Top Melter
If you’re looking
for the ideal furnace to use in jewelry or hobby work or just
wish to teach foundry on a small scale, the E4-0 Electric
Bench Top Melter is for you. All the quality and performance
of our largest melting furnaces has been engineered into an
electric melter especially designed to receive a #4-0000
crucible. Because of it’s table top size and affordable price,
the hobbyist can now enjoy the versatility of casting his own
parts.
The E4-0 has a
temperature range to 2050 F., allowing it to melt 1 to 1 1/2
lbs. of brass in just under 20 minutes from a cold start and
about 10 minutes from a hot start. Using a digital, micro
processor based controlling instrument, the E4-0 automatically
reaches and maintains the precise temperature you have
selected. The heating chamber consists of 4 individual heating
elements, molded in ceramic fiber panels. Two inches of
ceramic fiber insulation surround the chamber, with an extra
insulating wall to insure cool instrument operation. All this
in a furnace weighing only 50 lbs.

EM-810
Electric Bench Top Melting Furnace
(Not recommended for Bronze Melting)
Capacity - EM-810 : 8 - 10 lb. Aluminum, 24 - 30 lb. Brass
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like the E4-0 described
above, the EM-810 melter is an excellent choice for the
small jewelry manufacturer, laboratory, hobbyist, or
educational environment. It features the same rugged
construction and dependability found in all MIFCO
products. The EM -810 is capable of melting most
non-ferrous metals with a maximum chamber temperature of
2050F and is controlled by a digital temperature control
instrument. All controls are solid state for long life
and dependability. Heating elements are cast into a
ceramic fiber tube, making element replacement quick and
easy. The heating chamber is backed up by 2 inches of
high temperature, fiber blanket insulation. The EM-810
accepts either a number 8 or 10 standard bilge-type
crucible. The unit will fit on the optional Pouring Cart
pictured with the unit, which places the furnace at a
convenient height for removal of the crucible. The
Pouring Cart is equipped with locking wheels for added
safety and facilitates easy storage of the unit after
melting. The EM-810 is available in 240 volt, single
phase and is equipped with a plug and 15 ft. power cord.
