In foundry parlance, the energy performance of a cupola is measured by the charged coke consumed (including boosters) per tonne of metallic charge material. Bed coke consumption is usually excluded while comparing the energy performance of cupolas.
In more recent times, the use of the cupola has declined in favour of electric induction melting, which offers more precise control of melt chemistry and temperature, and much lower levels of emissions. The construction of a conventional cupola consists of a vertical steel shell which is lined with a refractory brick.

Changing from the on-line cupola to the off-line can be achieved within one shift. This allows one cupola to be in operation while the other is relined and repaired.

WRIB 38 tons/hour cupola melting system will start up in China late March 2007 and will run 10-12 week campaign lengths. This high-efficiency long campaign water cooled cupola will provide the highest melt rate, and is the most advanced cupola melting system in China.
Metal-Melting Cupola, Part 2 04-19-2003, burned it again. Used wood lath and other wood scraps to start a coke bed, then added about 4" of coke on top of that, bringing it about that much above the tuyeres.

You might try melting faster, or hotter, or in higher volumes, but still you may not be certain you’re melting more efficiently. Ford Motor Co.
No, it's not some sort of miniature teacup from Spain. The definition of a cupola, according to my Random House College Dictionary reads as follows: cu·po·la (kyou' puh luh), noun 1.
There are many different types of cupola furnaces: cold blast, hot blast, with and without oxygen, conventional and long campaigns. The quality of the melting process with the oxidation and reduction reaction taking place makes the cupola less sensitive to low quality charge materials and contaminants than other electric melting furnaces: Highly oxidised and low quality scrap materials as well as low grade alloys can be used. The cupola capacities vary from a few tons to 100 tons per hour The introduction of the melt zone cooling has allowed for the extension of the campaign lengths from one day (daily cupola), to a few weeks (medium campaign cupola) and up to several months (long campaign cupola) depending on the cupola design, its size and the operating practice. The majority of foundries producing high volumes of iron for applications such as the automobile and water distribution industries is using mainly medium and long campaign cupolas. The three main types of water cooled cupolas/cupola furnaces are:

Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces For the Small Foundry by Stephen D. Chastain
Tuesday, October 10. 2006 Posted by mustafa caykoylu in Engineering materials Comments (0) Trackback (1) Melting cast irons Iron foundries require metal of controlled composition and temperature, supplied at a rate sufficient to match the varying demands of the moulding line. The metallic charge to be melted consists usually of foundry returns, iron scrap, steel scrap and pig iron with alloying additions such as ferrosilicon.
Norman P. Lillybeck Prompted mainly by greatly increased availability of low grades of steel scrap, plus the advent of ductile iron, utilization of high steel scrap charges in cupola melting has rapidly increased during the last several Development of cupola design and process technology has been greatly influenced by this growth in high steel charge practice.
This is a nice book on how to build a realatively small cupola for melting iron. It is well written, and he has a couple of pictures in the book.
Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces For the Small Foundry REVIEW Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces is a book taking iron melting from theory to design to operation. The author, Steve Chastain, has provided the small foundry enthusist an excellent reference book coverning all aspects of design, construction and operation of a Cupola Furnace within the 150 to 2500 pound per hour capacity.
Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces for the Small Foundry by Steve Chastain Great book. Simply a great book.

The long campaign cupola is the principal melting unit of most modern automobile and pipe foundries worldwide. The increasing requirement for improved iron quantity and quality places severe demands on the cupola furnace refractories.
Cupola is a continuous melting shaft furnace which has by its inherent design considerable advantages over batch type melters such as electric furnaces or rotary furnaces. A cupola can accept a wide range of raw materials including oily, wet and contaminated scrap.

Metal-Melting Cupola I'm writing this in part because there is scant little free information on cupolas on the internet. I don't know if nobody's bothered to, or if it's a conspiracy with Stewart Marshall and Steve Chastain :-p, but I'm going to try my best anyway.
2. Cupola vs. Coreless Electric Melting The comparisons that will be discussed in this section are based on two foundries that are identical in every way except for the melti This is interesting and unique because all other factors do not come into play due to total similarity.

Concept to Compliance ETA Engineering specializes in the design, fabrication and complete turnkey installation of environmental air pollution control systems. Our personnel have experience in Heavy Industry and know the needs and requirements demanded by our customers, engineers, operators and maintenance personnel.
Oxygen helps to raise the melt temperature and increase the melting rate. It is usually introduced at the tuyere level after suitably modifying the tuyeres.
Iron Melting Cupola Furnaces, For the Small Foundry: The coupla is the oldest method of melting cast iron and continues to be used world wide. Although a simple mechanism the ratios of fuel, air, iron and flux have always been critical and the most important part of the ironmaster's education.
It is worth reminding the reader that a cupola is a continuous melting shaft furnace which has by its inherent design considerable advantages over batch type melters such as electric furnaces or rotary furnaces. A cupola can accept a wide range of raw.
Electric melting. This is more like cooking and gives a greater control of the metal chemistry than with cupola melting.
With the acquisition of the Chicago Fire Brick product line , Allied Mineral Products is now a leading supplier to the cupola melting industry . We can supply the most proven products for cupola bottoms, tapholes, cupola breasts, siphons, stacks, and melt zones.
in steelmaking, a vertical cylindrical furnace used for melting iron either for casting or for charging in other furnaces. René-Antoine Ferchault de Réaumur built the first cupola furnace on record, in France, about 1720.
