Specifically engineered for melting brass, this furnace handles the challenges of the copper-zinc alloy, particularly zinc fuming. Operating at very high temperatures, around 1000°C, it achieves complete liquefaction. The working principle often employs indirect heating methods like induction or a crucible within a gas-fired chamber to ensure a clean melt and minimize metal loss. Its purpose is to produce high-quality molten brass for sand casting, die casting, or extrusion billet production. Equipped with fume extraction systems, it is a critical asset in dedicated brass and bronze foundries.
Trutherm manufactures 1200 Degree Celsius (°C) Brass Melting Furnace 200 x 200 x 400 MM Chamber for buyers who search by exact machine type, chamber size and 1200°C temperature rating. This page is specific to the MM dimension version, so the chamber size is presented in the unit normally used in the buyer's drawing, tender or purchase request.
This configuration is suitable when the sample load must fit a 200 x 200 x 400 MM chamber with usable chamber volume of 16 litre, approximate power load of 8.8 kW, square chamber profile. It is commonly selected for laboratory, QC, metallurgical, ceramic, pharmaceutical and industrial heat-treatment work requiring stable heating and repeatable process conditions. Typical use includes general laboratory and industrial heat-treatment applications requiring stable, repeatable temperature control.

Uniform chamber heating and a simple door-loading design make a muffle furnace straightforward to standardise across multiple operators and shifts.
Where sample volume and process type vary week to week, a general-purpose muffle furnace avoids the cost of maintaining several process-specific furnace types.
As a general-purpose muffle furnace, this model covers a broader range of routine heating tasks than a process-specific ashing, tube or sintering furnace, making it the practical default when the lab runs mixed sample types rather than one dedicated process.
