First use: pre-heat the empty crucible on full power to about 900 °C (bright red) and hold for 30 minutes to condition the glaze; then charge and set the furnace to operating temperature. Install the crucible on a stand of the same material, leaving an expansion gap to the furnace lining.
We can carry out crucible replacement, stand and grip-brick installation and first heating in your furnace. Our furnaces are designed to accept crucibles of different makes; send us your current crucible dimensions and we will identify the equivalent pattern together.
Dimensions and capacities are taken from the manufacturer catalogue (MMS Excel E); normal manufacturing tolerances apply. The Molten Metal Systems (MMS) crucible business passed from Morgan Advanced Materials to Vesuvius in 2022; the product is now offered under the Foseco brand with the same pattern codes.
