Wenesco Gas Fired Melters
Models MPM420, MPM1002
Wenesco Models MPM420 and MPM1002 are gas-fired melting pots designed for processing soft metals and alloys under 1000°F (538°C), including tin, lead, solder, babbitt, zinc, pewter, Cerro alloys, and lead-free materials.
These industrial melters are fully insulated to improve thermal efficiency and reduce heat loss during continuous operation in demanding manufacturing and metal processing environments.
Each unit is built with integrated safety features and complies with national codes for commercial and industrial gas heating equipment. The melters include an exhaust fitting ready for connection to an 8-inch duct, while the side-mounted thermostat can be wired for 120V or 240V operation.
Optional configurations include digital thermostats, electric ignition, drains, and custom leg lengths to support specific production requirements.
Wenesco welcomes your inquiry regarding other sizes and shapes.
