At the Grieve Corporation we are committed to continuing the tradition of personal involvement and quality products that begun with our fathers. We welcome your inquiry, please contact us today.
At Inductotherm Corp. we design and manufacture the most advanced melting, heating, holding and pouring systems for virtually all metal and material processing materials as well as numerous other special applications. For your next electric furnaces, we are ready to assist you. Let our friendly staff find the perfect product for your application, contact us today.
At Kleenair Products, each system we manufacture is tested to ensure proper operation and then shipped factory-direct via truck or ocean container to its final destination. We serve aerospace, metals, military and several other industries with the quality electric furnaces they need. Our products can include energy efficient heat recovery systems and complete turnkey operations.
At Charles A. Hones we understand the needs of smaller companies especially well. For this reason we welcome small orders and try to offer a range of solutions whenever possible so our customers can choose the level of "fix" they prefer, from getting a little more mileage from their aging equipment to replacing an entire system. For the solutions you need, including electric furnaces, call today.
With commitment to quality and customer satisfaction as our primary goal, let Upton Industries custom design and manufacture equipment to suit your toughest applications with our engineered thermal solutions.

Industry Information
Electric Furnaces
Electric furnaces can come with numerous temperature control options or be set for a single temperature, depending on the process for which the furnace will be used. To increase heat, pulverized coal and oxygen are often added to the electric heat. Electric furnaces commonly have one of the following atmospheres: air or oxidizing, inert, reducing, salt bath or vacuum. They also come in three-zone or multi-zone varieties. Over-temperature protection, service or entry holes, view ports, computer interface and application software are other optional features available for electric furnaces. A common electric furnace is the electric arc furnace which is typically used for making steel from scrap material. Scrap metal is placed in the electric arc furnace in varying layers (of light-gauge steel and large heavy steel); as the arcs heat up they heat through the layers of the metal, lengthening the arcs and increasing the melting process. Further acceleration can occur when oxygen is added to the process.
Advantages to electric furnaces are that they provide precision control when it comes to the temperature and internal atmosphere of the furnace. They are also considered more economical because they can re-use scrap metal. Important factors to consider when selecting an electric furnace are pressure range, process temperature, chamber length, and the height, width, or tube outer diameter of the furnace. Pressure range is the range of pressure the furnace can run on, while the process temperature represents the range of temperatures that the furnace can handle. The length of the chamber is the length of the furnace itself. Height and width refer to internal measurements of the furnace. Tube outer diameter is another measurement that affects the performance of tube furnaces, a particular variety of electric furnaces.
