Specifically engineered for melting copper, this furnace achieves the high temperatures (1150°C+) needed for efficient liquefaction. It is designed to minimize oxidation and hydrogen absorption, which degrade copper's properties. The working principle may use induction, which stirs the melt for homogeneity, or gas-fired crucibles. Its purpose is to produce molten copper for continuous casting of rod and wire, sand casting of large components, or alloying. A key piece of equipment in copper refineries, brass mills, and electrical component plants, it ensures a clean, consistent metal supply.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 245 x 235 x 400 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 23 litre, approximate power load of 10.2 kW, square chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.

Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Copper Melting Furnace 245 x 235 x 400 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1200°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
Because muffle furnaces are used across ashing, drying, calcination and light heat-treatment, the chamber and controller are specified for flexibility rather than one narrow process window.
Routine QC and teaching labs value a muffle furnace precisely because one unit can cover several standard test methods without dedicated process-specific tooling.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
