These furnaces are highly efficient in melting aluminium for die casting, pressure die casting & sand casting. The main advantages of these furnace are these are pollution free furnace & also does not require much space for installation & it works automatically.

The advantages of crucible furnaces are their simple operation and maintenance and the low capital investment involved. With a furnace concept on the basis of crucible furnaces the foundry can also produce different alloys in small lots. There are virtually no restrictions as to the type of alloy. The melt can be treated right in the crucible and, if necessary, the alloy can be easily and quickly exchanged.
Crucible furnaces used in aluminium foundries as melting units usually have capacities of up to 1,000 kg (static type) or even up to 1,500 kg (tiltable type). The maximum melting rates of electrically heated furnaces amount to approx. 250 kg Al/h. Fuel-heated furnaces reach rates of up to 400 kg Al/h.
