A Crucible Melting Furnace Shipped to Australia

Introduction

Brother Furnace recently completed the successful shipment of a crucible melting furnace to a customer in Australia. This custom-engineered furnace, designed to reach temperatures up to 1400℃, demonstrates our continued commitment to delivering high-performance, tailored thermal processing solutions for the global materials industry.

Customer Background

The client is a leading advanced materials company based in Australia, focusing on alloy development for laboratory-scale and pilot-scale applications. Their work requires highly stable and precise high-temperature equipment capable of melting and processing a wide range of metal alloys in a clean and controlled environment. In the past, the customer faced several challenges with equipment from other suppliers, such as uneven heating, lack of temperature uniformity, and inadequate safety systems. As part of their facility expansion, they were in search of a trusted partner to deliver a reliable and precise melting solution.

Why the Customer Chose Brother Furnace

After evaluating multiple international suppliers, the customer selected Brother Furnace for several key reasons:

1. Extensive Experience

With more than 20 years of experience in designing and manufacturing crucible and melting furnaces, Brother Furnace has earned a strong reputation for technical expertise and reliable performance. This reassured the customer of our ability to meet their demanding specifications.

2. Customized Design

The customer specified a crucible size of 220 mm in diameter and 320 mm in height. We quickly responded with a tailored design, adjusting the chamber and heating zone dimensions to precisely accommodate these requirements. This ensured optimal melting efficiency and consistent heating.

3. Accurate Temperature Control

The furnace supports an operating temperature of 1400℃ and is equipped with a PID-controlled system to maintain excellent thermal stability and uniformity. This level of precision is critical for alloy development and small-batch melting.

4. Safety and Ease of Operation

Safety and user-friendliness were major priorities for the customer. Our solution included:

Over-temperature protection

Real-time temperature monitoring

Intuitive touchscreen control panel

Multi-layer thermal insulation

These features enhance operator safety and streamline the melting process, improving overall efficiency.

5. Full Technical Support

From initial consultation through design and production, our sales and engineering teams maintained close communication with the customer. We provided 3D CAD drawings, detailed technical datasheets, and online consultations to ensure every technical detail was confirmed before manufacturing began.
