ProFire TL-16 Tilting Electric Crucible Furnace – 70 lb Red Brass Capacity

The ProFire TL-16 Tilting Electric Crucible Furnace is a professional electric melting furnace designed for foundries, jewelry manufacturing, metalworking shops, refining operations, and other non-ferrous metal melting applications. Featuring a #16 crucible, an approximate 70 lb red brass capacity, and a maximum operating temperature of 2300°F, the TL-16 combines controlled electric heating with a convenient tilting design for efficient melting and pouring.

Equipped with automatic temperature controls and a digital readout, the ProFire TL-16 allows the operator to select the desired operating temperature while the furnace maintains the selected set point. This provides straightforward temperature management throughout the melting process.

The furnace uses a heavy-wall clay-graphite #16 crucible with a pouring spout, while an insulating firebrick lining helps retain heat within the furnace during operation.

Controlled Tilting & Pouring

The ProFire TL-16 incorporates a tilting furnace design with a backing winch, allowing the operator to precisely control furnace movement during pouring.

Rather than manually lifting a crucible filled with molten metal from the furnace, the tilting configuration allows metal to be poured directly from the crucible's integrated spout.

A vented lid provides convenient crucible access and securely latches in the raised position during loading and operation.

Professional Metal Melting Applications

The ProFire TL-16 provides a useful balance between professional melting capacity and manageable furnace size. With approximately 70 lbs. of red brass capacity, it is well suited for operations that require greater capacity than small benchtop melting furnaces without moving into significantly larger industrial equipment.

Its high-temperature capability and tilting configuration make it suitable for melting and pouring a variety of compatible non-ferrous metals and alloys in professional applications.

The combination of automatic temperature control, a heavy-wall clay-graphite crucible, heat-retaining firebrick insulation, and a controlled tilting system makes the TL-16 a versatile solution for repeated melting and pouring operations.

Metal capacity will vary depending on the alloy and its density. The stated 70 lb capacity is based specifically on red brass.
