Designed to meet the metal melting needs of the non-ferrous casting industry, the Pottstown soft metal furnace is ideal for both intermittent and high production usage with lead, tin, solder, babbitt, zinc, and all other white and soft metals. Our popular soft metal furnace comes in five standard sizes with lead capacity ranging from 160 to 2,700 lbs.
The heavy duty cast iron and rolled steel construction combined with the thoroughly insulated steel body provide the efficiency desired by modern manufacturers, while still maintaining the old-fashioned ruggedness our customers have come to expect from a Pottstown engineered furnace.

Soft Metal Furnace Construction
Our soft metal furnace comes standard with a thick, heavy duty cast iron melting pot with extra wide flange. (Our cast iron pots will provide best service life when used for melting non-ferrous metals such as zinc or babbitt and their alloys.) The extra wide flange helps prevent fluxes, metals, drosses, scale or debris from clogging flue passageways.
The Burners
All soft metal furnaces are heated with our simple raised port ring burners. Our burners are designed to hold their own against high radiant heat and combustion chamber temperatures, as well as demanding production schedules. The raised port ring burner features hand-drilled ports to produce shorter flames with smooth and quick ignition and excellent turndown.
With 100+ years of experience and 1000’s of successful custom designs, we always strive to deliver competitively priced, high quality, precision metal products on a clear schedule. You can rest assured that you receive a quality product at exceptional value.
