In the intricate world of metallurgy, YOUNENGDE stands out as a pioneering force in gold smelting technology, particularly with the introduction of its DC Submerged Arc Furnace, ranging from 100 to 10,000 kVA. As a renowned manufacturer based in China, YOUNENGDE combines years of experience with cutting-edge innovation to offer a comprehensive solution for gold smelting that optimizes efficiency and reduces environmental impact. But before delving into the specifics of YOUNENGDE's DC Submerged Arc Furnace, let's clarify the fundamental differences between AC and DC arc furnaces.


Arc furnaces are indispensable tools in the smelting industry, used primarily for melting scrap metals and refining ores. The primary distinction between AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) arc furnaces lies in the electrical current they employ and the resulting operational characteristics.


AC Arc Furnaces:

Utilize alternating current, which periodically reverses direction.

Offer high power capacity and are well-suited for large-scale smelting operations.

May exhibit higher energy consumption due to arc instability and re-striking issues.

DC Arc Furnaces:

Employ direct current, which flows continuously in one direction.

Provide a stable and continuous arc, resulting in more efficient and controlled melting processes.

Are typically associated with lower energy consumption and improved slag control.

YOUNENGDE's DC Submerged Arc Furnace: An Industry Game-Changer


YOUNENGDE's DC Submerged Arc Furnace is designed specifically for gold smelting applications, offering a number of advantages over traditional AC arc furnaces:


The stable arc produced by the DC current results in minimal power loss, making the smelting process more energy-efficient.

Lower energy consumption translates into reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.


The DC furnace allows for better control over the smelting process, leading to a higher purity of the final gold product.

Enhanced slag control minimizes impurities, ensuring that the gold is of the highest quality.


YOUNENGDE offers a range of furnace capacities, from 100 to 10,000 kVA, to suit various smelting requirements.

Customization options are available, including adjustments to the furnace design to fit specific production needs.
