Induction Melting

An induction furnace provides accurate and repeatable results. It is a safer and more cost-effective way to melt precious metal bearing materials. 

An induction furnace uses a high-temperature electric current to melt the metal with an added fluxing agent. Once the metal is molten it is stirred ensuring the alloying conditions are fully mixed into the melt.

Sampling this melt can be done using glass vacuum pin tubes prior to the pour or by drilling the bar after it has been cooled. Material type will determine the sampling method.

Just Refiners USA, Inc. now has five furnaces on site. Our newest and largest is a 150 Kilowatt induction furnace with a 750 lb. capacity. JRI also has 1 X 75 Kilowatt – 100 lb. capacity and 2 X 75 Kilowatt – 150 lb. capacity furnaces. We utilize our 25 Kilowatt – 10 lb. capacity furnace for smaller lots and platinum group metals.
