Advanced Thermal Design

This crucible features a high-purity graphite inner liner for maximum thermal conductivity and a clean pour. To protect the graphite from rapid oxidation at high temperatures, it is housed in a heavy-duty ceramic refractory sleeve, significantly extending the tool's lifespan compared to standard graphite crucibles.


Key Features

  • High-Volume Capacity: Optimized to hold up to 3kg of Gold (approximately 1.5kg–2kg of Silver).

  • Dual-Layer Protection: The ceramic outer jacket provides superior insulation and structural integrity, preventing graphite erosion during induction cycles.

  • Integrated Pouring Spout: Designed with a precision-notched lip for a smooth, controlled flow into molds.

Pro-Tips for Longevity

  • Seasoning: Always preheat your crucible to 200°C for 15-20 minutes to eliminate any absorbed moisture before your first melt.

  • Care: Avoid dropping cold metal ingots into a red-hot crucible to prevent mechanical shock.

Owen ★★★★★

I was worried about oxidation damaging my previous crucibles, but this graphite core paired with the ceramic sleeve has held up beautifully after multiple heats. The high-purity liner delivers a noticeably clean pour with no residue.

Sebastian ★★★★★

The ceramic sleeve on this crucible is a game-changer — it noticeably reduces oxidation even after multiple high-temp melts. The graphite inner liner heats up fast and gives a clean pour every time. Solid upgrade from my old plain graphite setup.

Sebastian ★★★★★

Melted down a few kilos of scrap aluminum and the pour stayed clean the whole time, the graphite inner liner held up without any sticking. The ceramic sleeve adds real peace of mind against oxidation, and it’s handled the heat cycles so far without a crack.
