Kerr ElectroMelt Furnaces
The world's workhorse for melting metals. Designed to be hand-held for easy pouring directly to the flask. Also used for reclaiming, alloying and refining metals.

Features found on all Kerr ElectroMelt furnaces:

Manual ElectroMelt
The original Manual ElectroMelt controls the temperature using percentage of "time on", "time off" principle. Maximum temperature is 50° F less than our automatic models. For long sustained melts we suggest the automatic models for improved element performance.

Features:

  • Calibrated dial plate
  • Excellent for occasional caster
  • Attains 1800° F in 22 minutes
  • Maximum temperature 2050° F
  • Melting capacity: Gold- 30 Troy ounces....Silver 25 Troy ounces
  • 6.2 amps
120 V Manual ElectroMelt          Stock # discontinued by the manufacturer   
240 V Manual ElectroMelt           Stock # discontinued by the manufacturer  
Automatic ElectroMelt Models
These digitally controlled Automatic ElectroMelts are recommended when sustained high temperature use is required. The fuzzy logic electronic controller regulates the temperature by providing full power input to the furnace until a preselected temperature is attained

Features:

  • LED display panel
  • Worry free operation
  • Reduces metal temperature overshoot
  • Holds temperature to a +/- 5°F
  • Maximum temperature 2,050° F
  • Electronics protect the element from overheating
  • 11.3 amps
