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.
Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Copper Melting Furnace 250 x 250 x 500 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.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 250 x 250 x 500 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 31.3 litre, approximate power load of 11.6 kW, square chamber profile.

Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
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.
