Home  /  Our Products  /  Furnaces  /  Scrap Melting Furnace
A scrap melting furnace is an industrial furnace designed to melt down metal scrap-like steel, aluminum, copper, etc.-to reuse it in manufacturing. It's a major part of metal recycling, casting, and alloy production.
Types of Scrap Melting Furnaces
  1. Induction Furnace
    • Uses electromagnetic induction to heat metal.
    • Clean, efficient, precise temp control.
  2. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)
    • Common for large-scale steel production.
    • Uses electric arcs between electrodes to melt scrap.
  3. Cupola Furnace
    • A vertical shaft furnace using coke as fuel.
    • Used mainly for cast iron.
  4. Rotary Furnace
    • Rotating drum, often used for aluminum or lead.
    • Good for melting mixed scrap and dross recovery.


Why Use Scrap Melting Furnaces
  • Recycling: Turns scrap into usable raw material.
  • Cost-saving: Cheaper than processing virgin ore.
  • Energy-efficient: Melting scrap uses less energy than producing metal from scratch.
  • Eco-friendly: Cuts down on mining and CO2 emissions.
Applications Of Scrap Melting Furnaces
  • Steel plants
  • Foundries
  • Aluminum recycling units
  • Copper/brass mills
  • Metal casting industries
Key Features of Scrap Melting Furnaces
  • Charging System: For loading scrap.
  • Melting Chamber: Where the magic happens.
  • Slag Removal System: To get rid of impurities.
  • Temperature Controls: Critical for alloy accuracy.
  • Exhaust/Emission System: Keeps air pollution in check.
