Hybrid Metals Melting Kiln Kit - Gold Mining Equipment

Description

The Hybrid Metals Melting Kiln is a small and portable combination furnace for both cupelling or melting pure metals. This Hybrid Kiln Kit supplies you with everything you need (except propane torches) to melt 1 to 5 oz of gold or scrap metals (1 to 3 ounces capacity for silver). At only 3 pounds, you can take it to the field with you and melt placer gold. It consists of a 1" base layer and 1.5" kiln chamber - all wrapped in a stainless steel jacket to keep it together. The lid is 1" thick. The alumina silica refractory material is good for up to 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the material reaches the targeted melting temperatures, the refractory material will shrink approximately 5% which will create small cracks in the material when it cools. However, cracking is not detrimental to the operation of the kiln or the life expectancy of the kiln. Two torches are needed to create the swirling heat effect (see photo). Can be used to perform scorification assays in the field, too. Hybrid Metals Melting Kiln Kit includes: Kiln, 4 premium bone ash cupels, 2 mini graphite crucibles, 2 oz gold (1 oz silver) graphite loaf mold, stainless steel mini tongs for cupels, 6 inch scissor tongs (not pictured), 3 ounces of melting flux, Instructions for both cupelling and melting * Propane bottles and nozzles not included * NOTE FROM MANUFACTURER: The Kwik Kiln is designed to be heated with 2 pencil tip PROPANE torches simultaneously. Manufacturer will not warranty any Kwik Kiln heated too high, improperly, or in a manner that goes against its design. This includes using other types of torches, or using Mapp gas, which gives off more heat. Use propane only. This kiln ships via Priority Mail.
