- You want to reduce energy consumption during melting and holding
- You have limited installation space in the foundry
- You need easy crucible and heating element replacement
Key features:
- Maximum furnace chamber temperature 1100 °C
- Maximum temperature for long-term operation 1000 °C
- Recommended operating range in crucible 650–850 °C
- Electric resistance heating
- Melting and holding of aluminium alloys
- Octagonal furnace design
- Emergency drain at the bottom of the furnace
- Available aluminium capacity from approx. 105 to 1250 kg
Typical applications

Optional accessories available at additional cost
- Crucible
- Charge thermocouple of the K type with protective tube
- Thermocouple of the K type in the wall of the crucible (not possible for PT 100/11 Mk.II)
- Ht205 controller
- Work cycle monitoring with USB output
- Preparation for connecting the lid with the batching equipment of a casting device
