Quality Standard Features Make the Difference
Water-jacketed for ease of operation
and precise temperature control
Large Capacity* (Approximately 15-25 pounds of melted

Optional Equipment to increase
capacity and reduce labor
1) Rake System - continually rakes slum to one
end of melter and speeds melting process
