The Mechelec’s Graphite Rod Stirrers is a vital tool for refining, alloying, and mixing molten metals such as gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous materials during high-temperature operations. Specifically designed for use inside graphite or ceramic crucibles, this stirring rod ensures even distribution of heat, flux, and metal additives throughout the melt.
Constructed from high-purity, fine-grain graphite, the rod offers exceptional resistance to thermal shock and chemical corrosion, making it an ideal choice for continuous use in metal refining and casting environments. Unlike metal rods, graphite does not spark or introduce contamination, maintaining the integrity and purity of your molten metals.
High Thermal Resistance: Performs reliably in temperatures exceeding 1600°C without structural degradation.
Non-Reactive Material: Does not contaminate gold, silver, or copper melts—perfect for precious metal refining.
Smooth Stirring Performance: The cylindrical shape and polished finish allow controlled, consistent stirring.
Corrosion & Flux Resistant: Withstands exposure to most fluxes and alloying agents.
Safe to Use: Lightweight and compatible with rod holders for safe distance handling over hot crucibles.
Mixing molten gold and silver in refining crucibles
Distributing flux evenly in bullion melting operations
Homogenizing molten alloys for jewelry casting
Improving metal flow and heat distribution in lab-scale melting units
Ideal for use in induction, electric, and traditional furnaces
Using graphite rods for molten metal mixing ensures no unwanted reactions or sparks during the refining process. Unlike steel or iron rods, graphite maintains chemical stability and offers smooth movement through dense, high-temperature melts—making it the preferred choice for assay labs, metal recovery units, and jewelry manufacturers.
Mechelec offers premium-grade graphite stirring rods in various lengths and diameters. Whether you’re working in a gold refinery, jewelry workshop, or lab setting, our rods ensure clean mixing, better metal quality, and operational safety.
