Baker Furnace Inc. has been designing, engineering, and manufacturing Metal Melting Crucible Furnaces for 29 years (1980 to the present). Baker Furnace has a complete line of Metal Melting Furnaces (Crucible Furnaces) that melt Silver, Gold, Brass, Aluminum, Lead, and Zinc. Crucible Furnaces by Baker Furnace are used for a variety of applications including Precious Metal Melting, Mining smelting of ore concentrates, Brass Melting, School Foundries, Art Bronze Casting Foundries and any other non-ferrous melting application.
Crucible Furnaces by Baker Furnace are equipped with fully automatic Combustion Systems that are spark ignited and utilize FM approved flame supervision systems.
Metal Melting Crucible Furnaces by Baker Furnace are built for rugged Industrial service and are shipped in a turnkey condition ready for installation and immediate operation.
Our furnaces include a "packaged" burner assembly that bolts easily to the furnace. The combustion blower and burner are combined into one compact unit. RA furnaces are easy to maintain and include flame safety, spark ignition and an FM approved main gas valve as standard equipment.
