4qt Melting Pot

Melting Pots for Laboratory Use

Melting Pots are essential tools in laboratories for safely and efficiently preparing materials such as capping compounds, wax, tars, liquid asphalt, and other temperature-sensitive substances. Designed for precision and durability, these pots ensure consistent heating and reliable performance for a wide variety of applications.

Each Melting Pot features advanced temperature control, allowing users to maintain a precise set point within a range of 100°–320°F (38°–160°C). An integrated high-limit safety feature automatically shuts off the pot if the temperature reaches 360°F (182°C), preventing overheating and ensuring safe operation. The inner liner is constructed from durable cast aluminum and encases a helically wound heating element that delivers even, uniform heat from top to bottom. The stainless steel outer casing provides robust protection and ensures long-term dependability, even under heavy use.

The sturdy flat lid with a non-metallic knob allows for easy handling and helps retain heat efficiently while minimizing contamination. The compact design, combined with its durable construction, makes these Melting Pots ideal for both small-scale and large-scale laboratory environments.
