Description

Hardin HD-2344SS Stainless Steel Tabletop Melting Furnace with 4kg Crucible 110 Volt 1.5KW. Made with world leading 14 gauge Swedish Kenthal industrial heating elements. The best heating elements in the world! The thicker gauge makes them rugged and they last much longer than the 16 gauge so common in many furnaces on the market today. Our Hardin HD-2344SS 1.5KW 141 oz metallurgical smelting furnace is a compact electric furnace for melting scrap, reclaiming, alloying, and refining various metals. Perfect for pouring melted metals in casting operations when making bars or buttons. Works with high-karat gold, silver, copper, brass, and bronze. The electronic feature regulates the temperature by providing full power input to the coil until a selected temp is reached. Important to note, usually when you set temperatures, especially when first heating up the furnace, the actual read- out and temperature reached is going to be 50-100 degrees more than what you set the furnace to. That is perfectly normal. But eventually the temperature will come back down and stabilize and will hold to a +/- 5F. Setting the temp is easy. It requires you to "set" twice. Plug the unit in (fan comes on) and flip the on switch. Using the "down" button take the digital display's number to the temperature you want to set to. For example, gold melts at 1,948°F. So using the "down" button you set the temperature to 1,948°F. You then hit "set". A screen full of zeros will appear. The next step is to via a combination of ">", "down", and "up" buttons set the numerical value to the same as before; in this case 1,948°F. Push "set" button. You have successfully set the temperature.

  • Great For Melting Aluminum
I melted many bars of aluminum from crushed soda cans with no issues. Its a good little furnace, but it failed on me when trying to melt copper. Customer service was excellent.

  • Not for painted or inked scrap metal or small shavings.
Don’t buy this for aluminum can recycling. The paint and other coatings cause premature failure of the unit, and this fact is not mentioned in the advertising. It also won’t melt pure aluminum shavings from a CNC mill. Other than this it works great for other solid metals. Heats up fast, easy to use. ... show more

  • Its ok
The 4kg crucible is the best for heating because it is deep. In the 2kg, more than half of it is not inside the heating area. Temperature difference could be as much as 200 to 400 degrees between the chamber and crucible. Pouring could be difficult since the lip of the crucible is not as hot as the bottom. Taking into consideration these issues and compensating, the unit works well ... show more

  • It does what it's supposed to do. I have ...
It does what it's supposed to do. I have only 2 gripes: 1) Temperature control doesn't seem to work or the manual doesn't explain clearly enough. it just keeps going towards it max temp. 2) The hinges and clamp on the lid suuuuccckkkk. The hinges get warped an the clamp isn't really aligned well.

  • I Want two more !!!
This is my first furnace so I cannot compare it with any others (yet). However, I am pleased with its generous 2kg capacity as well as its powerful 2000 watt element. This thing heats FAST! I also like the fact that its rated for 1200C, uses only 120 volt power, comes with spare ceramic spacers, safety glasses, a hi-temp glove, crucible, tongs and extra fuse. Please re-stock this item. I will buy two more as soon as you get them!!! ... show more

  • best small system out there.
Very well made and works great. At first I got the wrong crucible but the seller sent me the correct one fast. I use it to cast aluminum parts in sand and this works perfect. Since I only need to heat up to 1450 degrees F (aluminum melts about 1220) the unit should last for several years before I need replacement parts. ... show more

  • Excellent buy
I am absolutely satisfied with my new Hardin 234 4k furnace! I have watched youtube videos for hours learning how to make a home made kiln/foundry and the results I obtained were nowhere near what I could have easily had long before had I just invested in this piece of equipment in the first place. Save yourself time, frustration, money with purchasing this furnace. I wish I had done it sooner. ... show more

  • Worked for two weeks, repaired then blew out my breaker and stopped working altogether.
This worked great for two weeks. My son was enjoying then it began blowing the breaker at my 12 year old house. I called and they knew what the problem was immediately and sent me a return receipt to fix it. It was a loose ground wire. We got the repaired product about 2-3 weeks later and plugged it in. It got up to 900 degrees and blew the 20 amp breaker in my circuit board. We sent it back and trying to get a full refund. I cannot find any information about a 15% return fee, which is what they charge. ... show more
