High Performing Stack / Tower Melters

Over the years, we have been asked to provide our customers with Stack Melters. In order to do so, we needed to resolve the reliability issues associated with current stack melter designs.

For the past several years, we have been developing a Stack Melter that would exceed our customer’s melting expectations and our high reliability standards and are now pleased to bring this to market.

The Schaefer Group has formed a partnership with Sanken Sangyo of Japan, the inventor of the Stack / Tower Melter since 1965. In this partnership, The Schaefer Group will manage entire production of these melters in our state-of-the-art facility in Dayton, Ohio. Sanken Sangyo has literally thousands of these melters in operation around the world, making them the global leader in the design and production of Stack Melters.
