A worldwide manufacturer of catalytic convertors, medical devices and pollution environment controls is set to receive 10 bench-top lab furnaces that will be used as part of a precious metals recovery system. The assay division recycles many parts that were originally deployed as catalytic convertors for diesel motors, medical components, and electrical parts.
The precious metals are burned out of the existing product and placed in crucibles. The crucibles are heated in the L&L Special Furnace Co., Inc. model GS1714 at temperatures between 1,800°F/982°C and 2,200°F/1,204°C. This allows any impurities in the metals to rise to the surface and be removed for further refinement. The model GS1714 has an effective work zone of 10” high by 15″ across by 13″ deep.
