The cost-effective tilting furnace TF-6000
The „small“ TF machines have been developed with the focus on least possible energy consumption and on safe and ergonomic handling. The melting unit and crucible can be tilted and locked in position by the user at multiple angles for gentler filling. Such “soft pouring” also prevents damage to the crucible. Pouring off is continuous and gradual, using a pivot lever. The operator is forced to stand to the side of the machine – away from the dangers of the pouring area. In the rare event of a crucible breaking, the machine is not damaged – all of the assemblies are covered by a separate protective housing, and every model has a large collecting tray under the smelting unit to prevent potential loss of metal.
The TF 2000 and TF 4000 models, which like their predecessors are used both in the jewelery industry and in refineries, are completely new developments. They are equipped with new high-performance induction generators, which ensure that the melting temperature is reached much faster and ensure that the melt is thoroughly mixed and homogenized. Depending on the model, the capacity ranges from 2,000 ccm to 4,000 ccm crucible volume, which corresponds to approx. 60 kg gold 18.
