An electric furnace, such as the Lindberg Electric Furnace, outperforms an iron, coal or gad furnace in terms of speed and energy conservation. An electric furnace is, on average, approximately 13% faster than an iron furnace. The fact that these furnaces run off from electricity, rather than the power generated from burning iron or coal, means that they can be shut off immediately after finishing, which avoids wasting extra energy, increasing efficiency.
The chamber is electrically heated to a temperature high enough to be used for melting and alloying metals and refractories. These are key pieces of equipment in the heat treating industry. Lindberg electrical furnaces can be used for virtually any non-ferrous metal melting or molten metal handling job.
This Lindberg Electric Furnace is Type RO-8135. It reaches temperatures up to 2000 degrees F and is powered by a 460 V, 37 amp, single-phase motor. It comes with the transformer and controls.

An electric furnace does not remove as much moisture from the air, either. This can be a big benefit in colder climates when they air gets especially dry. Maintaining more humidity in the home can lead to a much more comfortable environment than other furnaces may be able to provide, though the dry air can be corrected with a humidifier during those dry months.
