Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish Crucible | 8 oz Capacity

Achieve the extreme temperatures required for high-melting-point metallurgy with our Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish. Engineered with an 8 oz capacity, this professional-grade crucible bowl is specifically built to handle the intense thermal demands of melting platinum, palladium, and high-karat gold alloys without contaminating your pour.

Featuring the iconic thick-walled, deep-bowl Wesgo design, it provides unrivaled heat insulation and structural stability under high-powered torch flames.

Key Features & Benefits

• Optimized for Platinum Melting: Standard silica dishes can break down or react when subjected to the extreme heat needed for platinum casting. This Wesgo-style dish is manufactured using premium, high-purity materials designed to handle extreme temperatures without degrading.
• Superior Thermal Insulation: The thick bottom and dense side walls retain a massive amount of residual heat. This ensures your metal reaches liquid temperature faster and stays molten longer during the crucial transition from the torch to your mold.
• Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance: Engineered to safely manage the dramatic temperature swings inherent in torch-melting, preventing structural fracturing, cracking, or dangerous thermal failure.
• Stable Deep-Welled Profile: The deep-dish, steep-walled design cradles your material securely, preventing metal from shifting or slipping out of the heating zone while you manipulate your torch flame.

Specifications

• Design: Wesgo Style (Thick-Walled Deep Melting Cup)
• Capacity: 8 Troy Ounces (approx. 250 Grams based on precious metal density)
• Intended Use: High-temperature torch melting, centrifugal casting, and precision pouring.
• Compatible Metals: Platinum, Palladium, White Gold, Yellow Gold, and other high-melting-point alloys.

Crucible Usage Warning: Unlike standard silver and gold dishes, a platinum melting dish must be kept completely clean and free of flux cross-contamination. Do not use Borax when melting platinum, as it will break down at platinum-melting temperatures and introduce destructive impurities into your precious metal. Keep this dish dedicated strictly to your high-purity platinum or palladium melts.

The Professional Bench Standard for Platinum Casting

Melting platinum requires specialized equipment that won't give up under pressure. Our 8 oz Wesgo Style Platinum Melting Dish is the preferred bench standard for master jewelers, boutique designers, and high-end dental labs. Its heavy-duty construction protects your workspace while maximizing the thermal efficiency of your oxygen-hydrogen or oxy-propane torch setups—delivering clean, predictable, professional-grade casting results every single time.
