Pot Furnace

Blue M Pot furnaces are available in several sizes to meet specific requirements. Ruggedly constructed with an outer shell of heavy steel plate and a metal top plate, they will provide long service-free life. Insulation consists of quality, high and low temperature slab material insuring low radiation losses. Chamber temperatures up to 1650°F maximum yield pot temperature to 1450°F when furnaces are equipped with insulated covers.

Features / Benefits

Furnace Body

Outer shell made of heavy steel plate, reinforced and welded
Top plate made of steel plate with upturned flange around the center opening to support the pot casting on the sealing gasket

Furnace Cover

Steel fabrication, well-insulated to prevent heat loss
Divided in center so that either or both halves may be readily opened to expose the furnace pot

Insulation

Consists of several courses of high and low temperature slab materials
Laminated construction insures minimum heat loss
Low power required to saturate the furnace, keeping radiation loss low.

Heating Elements

Standard round rod nickel chromium type mounted in radiant type refractories
Radiates heat directly to the furnace pot
Uniform distribution

Terminals

Heavy cross section
Located on outside of furnace, enclosed in a metal guard

Made of heavy cast nickel chromium alloy or steel
Withstand high heat, minimum scaling
Extends entire depth of heating elements for best heat absorption

Gasket under pot flange aids in preventing salt leakage to heating chamber
Nickel-Chrome heating elements integrally mounted in radiant refractories for even heat
Temperature and excess temperature instrumentation
Complete, pre-wired free-standing control panel with disconnect switch
