Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Kit, 8KG/18lbs Gas Metal Melting Furnace Kit, Foundry Home Kiln with Crucible, Tongs, Wooden Handle, Smelting Casting Tool for Gold Silver Copper Aluminum Metal Recycle

This furnace will provide you with a steady, rugged and reliable melting process. The shiny VEVOR label looks sharp and professional. The body is constructed of heavy guage Stainless steel. The refractory will need to be treated prior to initial use, but the process of doing so is very quick and easy to do. The only problem is the handle. Get a substitute wood handle ready, as the one from the factory will only last approximately 12 to 15 melts and becomes brittle and detaches. The competitors use a small hinge on the top lid, but having the lid removable is easy to get used to and is very functional, so i don't count it as an issue. Overall, this is a great product and big enough for mostly all base metal casting operations!

L'équipement est bien conçu, cela pourrait être plus massif mais donc plus lourd, l'inox fait le travail escompté. La laine de céramique fournie résiste à la chaleur mais ne la conserve pas. Pour optimiser l'inertie de la chaleur au sein du creuset, car il est nécessaire pour monter à haute température, il serait préférable de fournir l'enduit réfractaire, celui que j'ai posé ici résiste à une température de 1600°C, il n'est pas facile à se procurer et assez coûteux, il m'aura fallu 3 kg. Il est également nécessaire de fabriquer ou bien de se procurer du matériel solide et fiable, tel que les pinces, car utiliser la fonderie en versant du métal en fusion sans celà pourrait rapidement s'avérer dangereux. Pour le reste chacun fera en son âme et conscience en fonction de son usage relatif... Vous pouvez visionner une partie de mon processus de création en suivant le lien de la vidéo ✌️🙂

Très bien à part mon creuse en grafit et un peux abîmé apre a voir avec le temp si il se casse pas .

Le four est dune manière générale bien fourni. Pensez a faire le revêtement réfractaire sur les parois, attention les outils fournis avec ne conviennent pas pour la fonderie. Sinon, ca marche bien, pour la France, il faudra une bouteille sans limiteur de pression, le détendeur fourni est noté 30psi mais je ne suis pas arrivé a monter a plus de 20 - 25 psi Essayé avec de l alu bien content !

The tongs that come with these furnaces are no good. Buy better was immediately. Would buy again if i burn this one uo.

it is decent quality, but the crucible broke the first time i tried to pick it up and the tongs are kind of shitty but overall, it does everything it says it will not melt steel, but it will eat up aluminum brass and copper

Works very well dose leak propane around ports so when you put it together put high temp sealer on it other than that is awesome to have in the shop

Très bon rapport qualité prix

Très bon petit appareil qui fonctionne très bien qui consomme très peu de gaz satisfait de mon investissement

I did put refractory on the insulation before firing it. I bought the dual burner to make sure it could get the job done so it's first test was copper. If it can melt copper enough to pour easily. It can melt about anything. And it did. The 12k crucible in not a fan of. Which takes nothing away from the unit. It's just a massive, heavy crucible, that will be very intimidating if it's your first time. The thing will look like the sun. Wear very thick welding gloves and no exposed skin. I found an old welding helmet and took the dark plate out and left the clear. This is a major help when you stand over the opening to look in. It open it to pour. Just put sunglasses on under. Otherwise that 12k crucible is gonna feel like it's melting your face. I actually throttled back the propane and didn't need it full blast for a huge crucible and copper. So it will get the job done. I ended up buying a 2k crucible and a good firebrick to keep the smaller crucible up into the flame. Much better manageable deal that way. And melted faster. The 2 burner unit will go through propane. Kind of his without saying and common sense. 2 burners=twice the propane. It is nice you can shut one off while using the other. Or start out with one until everything nice and toasty. Then fire the other and off you go. The construction isn't bad. After all for the price you're not going to get 3/16 stainless steel unit. But overall gets the job done and so far so good.
