Electric Adjustable Metal Melting Furnace 160W / 280W

Fast, Controlled Melting for Lead, Tin and Indium

This electric adjustable melting furnace is designed for accurate, repeatable metal melting in soldering, casting and small-scale fabrication. With adjustable temperature control and dedicated plate casting heads, it delivers consistent results when working with soft metals such as lead, tin and indium, making it suitable for workshops, repair stations and technical hobby use.

Constructed from stainless steel with durable plastic housing, the furnace is built for frequent operation and high-temperature environments. The stainless steel solder pot resists heat, abrasion and common flux-related corrosion while maintaining a smooth, non-stick interior that helps reduce tin oxide buildup. Two power options are available: 160W and 280W, allowing you to select a configuration that matches your workload and melting volume. The tin pan diameter is approximately 45 mm or 55 mm, with a depth of about 60 mm or 80 mm, supporting a solder capacity of around 500 g or 1500 g. Typical molten solder time is about 3-8 minutes, depending on load and power setting. Input voltage is 220 V, and the adjustable temperature range is approximately 150°-450°, enabling you to tailor the heat level to different alloys and process requirements. Effective insulation technology improves thermal efficiency, helping the furnace reach working temperature quickly and maintain stable heat while reducing overall energy use. A small ladle is included to transfer liquid metal into molds or workpieces with greater control. For best results and equipment longevity, avoid excessively high temperatures that can accelerate solder pot aging, darken solder, or increase corrosion risk, especially when using highly acidic fluxes.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Adjustable temperature range supports precise melting for lead, tin, indium and similar soft metals.
• Efficient insulation and stable electric heating shorten melt times and help reduce energy consumption.
• Stainless steel solder pot offers durability, non-stick performance and resistance to common soldering wear.
