Reverberatory furnaces offer moderate bath depths and extended charge residence times. They are ideally suited to melting, liquation and refining duties such as lead softening. They are also effective in some smelting applications where mildly reducing conditions are required.
JWT offers a comprehensive range of parametric reverberatory furnace designs. Furnaces usually have advanced fuel-fired systems and have
flooded or sloping hearth designs and can include copper cooling elements for refractory protection. Firing systems may include air, oxygen-enriched or oxygen combustion with a variety of fuel specifications.​
