are in principle designed in the same way as crucible melting furnaces. Depending on their particular application however, they are equipped with sig- nificantly better heat insulation and sometimes also an induction coil, split into sections. In the case of a 50% division, both coils will for example have an out- put of 3,000 kW. When both coils are switched in series, the total output is only 1,500 kW. Crucible storage furnaces have the advantage that in the event of prob- lems, stoppages or other interruptions, they can be completely emptied. Due to the low specific output, it is advisable to sinter crucible storage furnaces with molten iron.
