Formerly known as Kerr Maxi-Melts, the Ventura-Melts are automatic and feature electronic controllers for extremely precise melting of metal, including high-karat gold. The electronic feature regulates the temperature by providing full
power input to the furnace until a selected temperature is attained, and will hold the temperature to a +/- 5ºF/3ºC. Maximum temperature 1120ºC/2050ºF.

Maxi-Melts are supplied with a graphite stirring rod and a graphite crucible which provides a reducing atmosphere during melting.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Aurora Y. ★★★★★

Heat‑up is impressively quick, and the 3‑kg crucible handles enough metal for my small jewelry runs. Flipping out the pour spout is a smooth motion, and the whole thing feels balanced in one hand.

Jacob P. ★★★★★

Pouring straight from the crucible while holding the furnace is so much easier than I thought it’d be—no extra ladle needed, and the grip stays cool enough for a full pour. Melted a batch of silver scrap in about 15 minutes, and the metal flowed clean with no residue left behind.

Aurora ★★★★★

The hand-held design is a game changer—I can pour the metal straight into the mold without any extra tools, and it heats up fast enough to keep my workflow moving. Just wish the instructions were a bit clearer for first-timers, but the weight and balance make it easy to control.
