Cupola Furnaces
WRIB Manufacturing specializes in the design, fabrication and operation of high efficiency long campaign water cooled cupola furnaces. Founded in 1969 with the mission of pioneering iron melting innovation, we have delivered over 120 cupolas worldwide with melting capacities up to 90 tons per hour. Every furnace is engineered and purpose built for end user requirements. Starting with desired liquid metal production rates, we follow a design process that delivers high quality output at the lowest possible cost per ton. This is achieved by maximizing fuel conversion and ensuring optimal melt center efficiency. WRIB cupolas run the longest campaigns in the industry and require less maintenance than any other design.
