Customer Reviews for VEVOR Propane Melting Furnace Metal Forge W/ 5KG Graphite Crucible Casting Tool

This is a small one. But it works well. I smelted nineteen ingots My first run. I used about two thirds of a grill Propane tank. Once I got the thing hot (about fifteen minutes) It went really well. I was about six hours at it. It was hot enough to melt copper tubing out of my hand. I used a stick of half inch copper as a stirring stick and it melted at about one inch per second. It's probably 3000 degrees. I had to order my own refractory cement. Which was kind of a chore. Because you have to coat the blanket with refractory cement. I just bought a tub at the hardware store. I spent twenty five dollars on that, but it was a good investment. The product comes with some refractory cement but I would recommend picking some up. Because it saves the thermal blanket. After six hours of continuous use, the thermal blanket is in perfect condition. Because I coated it heavily with refractory cement. It actually got hot enough to Soften my crucible. After five hours, I pulled a little chunk off the crucible while lifting it out of the kiln. It's plenty hot. All in all I give it an A+. It is exactly what I wanted to smelt my scrap wire and copper tubing into ingots.

Exacly what I thought I was getting and ideal fit for purpose. This compact unit is light enough to move about and still has enough volume to cast the components I need. All features as expected .

Well constructed. Great price. Shouldn’t have to use one hundred characters to complete, some of us do not usual do not do reviews. But these were a great price and very well constructed. But the insulation is a bit lacking. I bought the ceramic coating “ kind of like plaster” to cover the kaowool.

It does what it is intended to do. Spend a little money and buy some ridgidsizer before you coat it with fire cement

Very easy to setup and worked well

Excellent packing, easy Assembling and operation.

very good but the paint melted on one of the parts and made it very hard too see for a while. also the firebrick cracked on the first use. no too many features but does what it is suppose to do. also the ingot mood is very small. the biggest ingot mould is 2.5cm by 1cm. overall, this furnace is capable of reaching temperatures of 1300 Celsius.

Came in really fast nothing was broken in excellent condition. Haven't had time to use yet due to a lot of jobs piling up on me.

This item works great. Heat up very fast we had a block of aluminum melted in minutes. We have had a lot of fun with this.

The actual smelting process with the equipment works just fine. Preparing the refractory cement and applying it leaves a lot to be desired. The coating cracked and began to fall apart on the first use. After several uses, I purchased new insulation and cement, and I am in the process of re-coating the smelter.
