Electric Bench Top Melting Furnaces

Available in 3 Sizes: E4-O, EM-46, 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 Bench Top Melter

Like the E4-0 described above, the new EM-46 and EM-810 melters are an excellent choice for the small jewelry manufacturer, laboratory, hobbyist, or educational environment. They feature the same rugged construction and dependability found in all MIFCO products. The 46 and 810 are capable of melting most non-ferrous metals with a maximum chamber temperature of 2050F for the EM810, and maximum temperature of 2000F for the EM46, 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-46 will accept either a number 4 or 6 standard bilge-type crucible and the EM-810 accepts either a number 8 or 10 standard bilge-type crucible. Both units will fit on the optional Pouring Cart pictured with the unit, which place them at a convenient height for removal of the crucibles. The Pouring Cart is equipped with locking wheels for added safety and facilitates easy storage of the unit after melting. Both units are available in 240 volt, single phase and are equipped with a plug and 15 ft. power cord.
