The current work includes the design of Compact and portable Electric Furnace where its design is almost done in order to analyse and manufacture it. The design is done on the basis of the actual electric furnace used in the industry. The furnace is designed based on the induction concept and used the coil as the heater to melt the metals. The conceptual design of the furnace is done using Catia V5 software. Our aim is to melt the metal in less time and in more efficient way. So we design Electric furnace which is compact in size, portable and consumes low energy to melt the metal. For small production also it is profitable because it consumes less amount of energy as compared to other furnaces. The cost of our furnace is also less and profitable. We are using tubular Nichrome coil as a heating element. Crucible used is a solid state container used to hold metal for melting in a furnace. It must have much higher melting point then that of metal being melted and it must have good strength even while hot. Our Crucible is made-up of Silicon Carbide Graphite which can withstand the high temperature, and has good resistance to chemical erosion and thermal shocks. External shell and shell cover used is made up of Mild Steel (M.S.) Sheet. A fire brick is used between eternal shell and coil to withstand heat. Special purpose bricks are used to hold the coil. Also ceramic fiber wool is used for insulation.
