Crucibles and Accessories
ENERTEK
ENERTEK crucibles are a new family of energy efficient crucibles that have been formulated and manufactured to offer the most thermally efficient crucible for holding molten aluminum.
They are available in most standard shapes and capacities and can be fitted to the majority of crucible furnaces without any changes to current practice. ENERTEK crucibles are most suited to aluminum holding applications, particularly electrically heated furnaces but they can also be used effectively in gas fired furnaces.
ENERTEK crucibles can also in some instances be used for melting furnace applications where it offers both energy savings and reductions in melting times.
The highest quality refractory materials have been selected and formulated to maximize thermal conductivity and to withstand the effects of use and aging. State of the art manufacturing ensures high quality and high consistency of performance.
The key benefits of ENERTEK crucibles are:
• reduced energy required during holding
• minimal increase in thermal resistance over time
• maximized life time energy savings
• reduced greenhouse footprint
Crucible accessories
Crucible furnace accessory products also available include:
• pedestal blocks
• monolithic refractories for back-up and furnace repair
• covers
KING-CARB crucibles
KING-CARB crucibles are isostatically pressed carbon bonded silicon carbide, providing excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance to non-ferrous metals. They are designed for electric resistance, induction and fuel fired applications.
TERCOD crucibles
TERCOD crucibles feature a carbon bonded silicon carbide composition. They have been the “industry standard” for silicon carbide crucibles since 1917. These spun crucibles have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and will provide excellent resistance to thermal shock.

• precious metals
A Special version is available for lower temperature applications.
DIAMANT Top
Isostatically pressed crucibles with very high electric resistivity. Specially designed for use in high frequency and/or high power induction furnaces.
DIAMANT Optimal
Isostatically pressed, carbon bonded crucibles with very low electric resistivity. Ideally suited for use in low- and medium frequency induction furnaces.
"Prior to our relationship with Weaver Materiel, we were purchasing riser sleeves direct from the OEM. As a stocking distributor, Weaver typically is able to deliver same or next day. OEM lead times averaged three to four weeks. With Weaver, I've been able to reduce my working inventory by about 40%."
