Wenesco's Metal Melting Pots are used for melting of Solder, Lead, Babbitt, Zinc, Pewter, Cerro. and other "soft" metals, including lead-free alloys.

Typical Applications: tinning operations, soldering, melting lead for casting of bullets & sinkers, melting pewter for the jewelry casting industry, melting zinc for coating parts, melting babbitt for saw guides and knives.

NoteLead-free alloys with high tin content, such as lead free solder, babbitt, zinc, and pewter will damage  conventional melting pot crucibles (liners), pumps, etc.  Wenesco can treat these parts to prevent this corrosive problem. Click HERE for details.

Wenesco models MPM1B & MPM1C are made for casting, reclaiming, alloying, and refining gold, silver and other metals with similar or lesser melting temperatures. Equipped with electronic temperature controls with digital displays, these melters can reach a maximum temperature of 2010° F (1100 ° C). The digital temperature control will prevent overshoot and protect the heating element from overheating.  Tongs are provided to easily remove crucible.
