8qt Melting Pot
Melting Pots are the perfect solution for preparing capping compounds, wax, tars, liquid asphalt, and other lab materials with precision and efficiency. Designed for durability and consistency, these pots are ideal for a variety of laboratory applications where reliable temperature control and even heat distribution are critical.
Each Melting Pot features advanced precision temperature controls, maintaining a stable set point within a range of 100°–320°F (38°–160°C). For added safety, a high-limit control automatically shuts off the pot at 360°F (182°C) to prevent overheating. The cast aluminum inner liner is designed to encase the helically wound heating element from top to bottom, ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the pot, eliminating cold spots, and improving material preparation consistency. The stainless steel outer casing not only provides a sleek, modern look but also ensures a long service life under rigorous lab conditions.
Additionally, the sturdy flat lid features a non-metallic knob for easy handling and safe removal, even during operation. The durable design and high-quality materials make these melting pots an essential tool for laboratories requiring precise heating for various applications.
