Rite-hete Melting Pots

Recommended Posts

I'v been searching the archives TU for any reviews on Rite-Hete pots, but have not found many posts regarding these.  Started out using lee pots back in the day and then bought a Sta-Warm pot, but didn't like it so I returned it, but just curious if anyone is currently using one?  They look like quality equipment.

 

I'm thinking of using one to dip tubes & swmbaits with, but also wonder how well they really work for pouring?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Frank, I am glad to hear your endorsement.  How do you keep the material stirred?  Are you able to pour directly from the spigot to the mold?  I know you do a lot of injector work but am wondering.  

 

They told me that they add a second heater control for the pour spout for $150 more.  Digital control is over $500.  It sure seems like good equipment.

The heated spout that is the 150 upgrade does not work well for top pour molds as it is to big. The pot will work just fine for dipping blades and tubes. But they are real easy to talk to so you could ask for say a 1/4 valve and it might work but would not bet on it. For stirring I just stir by hand before each use. I really see no reason for constant stirring the way I use it. But on a presto pot there is because there is no heat on the sides and it will cool and get a skin. With the ritehete it has a heating element on the side of the pot.

I ordered a 6 quart unit today after talking to these folks several times.  Based on Frank's help I asked if they could do a smaller spout and they were happy to do it.  

 

The 6 quart unit with the recommended 2nd heat controller for the spigot is $635.  

 

I am eager to try it.
