Trent, Inc. Zinc Melter

Maximum Temperature: 1000°F / 538°C Used to melt aluminum and zinc. TRENT Aluminum and Zinc Melting Furnaces are specially designed for these hard-to-handle metals. The pots are fabricated from 1-1/4" thick steel using welded steel construction. TRENT Folded and Formed® heating elements are mounted to the inner casing walls with grooved porcelain retainers. The elements radiate uniform heat directly to the pot outer surface walls. This quickly and effectively transfers the heat to the material being melted. This method prevents pot stresses and hot spotting that tends to shorten pot life. The pots are designed to provide full access for easy ladling or dipping. A control well opening at the bottom of the pot crucible effectively allows the control thermostat to sense the pot and material temperature to the maximum operating temperature of 1000°F. Tilting models are usually floor mounted and designed with a mounting stand, a pouring spout and hand wheel tilt pouring gear box arrangement or quick-acting handle.
