- These partitions made from a plate made of ceramic material separate the melting tank into two or more parts.
- the plate has a section at the top which has a higher electrical resistance than the rest of the plate section.
- the radiators can also be installed in the walls or in the bottom of the melting tank and touch the metal strip with at least one surface.
