Case Study: Copper Melting Furnace for Copper Water and Ingot Production
Pingxiang Xinchen Furnace, an industrial furnace manufacturer in Pingxiang, Jiangxi, China, supplied the equipment for this project. A copper recycling workshop collects copper scrap from wire, motors and industrial offcuts, and sells finished copper ingots. Their old fuel-fired pit furnace could not keep up with the scrap intake, and the copper water temperature was hard to control before pouring.
The equipment
We supplied a digital power supply variable frequency induction melting furnace for copper and copper alloys: capacity 100 to 5000 kg depending on model, maximum operating temperature 1500 °C, melting time 1 to 2 hours. The induction coil and crucible were sized for the workshop's typical batch, and the digital power supply keeps copper water at pouring temperature without overshoot.
From scrap to ingots
The workflow is simple: sorted copper scrap is charged into the crucible, melted to clean copper water, then poured through the pouring frame into ingot molds on the casting line. Finished copper ingots are stacked and weighed for sale. The furnace replaces the fuel pit furnace with lower noise, no fuel storage, and a much cleaner working area.
Key specifications (XCJD copper melting series)
Ten models from XCJD-100KG to XCJD-5000KG: capacity 100-5000 kg, melting rate 100-3500 KG/H, configured power 40-800 KW, max operating temperature 1500 °C, melting time 1-2 h.
The result
The workshop doubled its daily melt output with consistent ingot quality, and the energy cost per ton dropped visibly against the old furnace. The same series also supports brass, bronze and copper alloy smelting for foundries.
