Applications of Skelner Furnace
- Aluminium Melting Plants
- Die Casting Units
- Secondary Aluminium Recycling
- Alloy Manufacturing
- Foundries
- Non-Ferrous Metal Processing
- Extrusion & Rolling Mills
A Skelner Furnace, also called a Reverberatory Furnace, is one of the most efficient and widely used systems for melting aluminium, copper, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals.
Known for its large melting capacity, fuel efficiency, and stable heat distribution, it is ideal for foundries, recycling units, alloy manufacturing, and die-casting plants.
At M. G. Furnaces, we design and manufacture high-performance Skelner Furnaces that deliver maximum output with minimal energy consumption—ensuring reliability, long life, and smooth melting operations.
⭐ What is a Skelner Furnace?
A Skelner Furnace is a rectangular or cylindrical reverberatory-type furnace where heat is reflected (“reverberated”) from the roof onto the metal charge.This indirect heating ensures:
- Uniform melting
- Higher thermal efficiency
- Clean molten metal
- Lower oxidation losses
It is preferred for bulk aluminium melting and scrap charging operations due to its high capacity and low operating cost.
