Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum power consumption of this unit?
The UltraMelt 4/5 has a maximum absorbed power of 5kW.
Is this a static or centrifugal melting system?
The UltraMelt is a static induction melting system.
What are the cooling water requirements?
To operate safely, the system requires a minimum water flow of 2.0 L/min (0.5 GPM). The cooling water must have a minimum differential pressure of 3 Bar (45 PSI) and a maximum input pressure of 6 Bar (90 PSI).
Can I monitor the temperature without touching the metal?
Yes. While the unit comes standard with a thermocouple probe, an infrared (IR) sensor is available as an optional upgrade for non-contact temperature monitoring.
What materials can I melt with this furnace?
These furnaces are designed for both precious and non-precious metals and alloys. Specific configurations are available for gold (up to 5kg) and platinum (up to 600g).
