Top 10 Medium Frequency Electric Furnace Suppliers in the Middle East in 2025

Founded in 2010, Al-Mustaqbal ("The Future" in Arabic) has lived up to its name by becoming a pioneer in battery recycling. What started as a small lead acid battery recycling operation in Dubai has grown into a regional leader, thanks to its state-of-the-art medium frequency electricity furnace equipment designed specifically for lead paste reduction. "We saw a gap in the market—facilities struggling with outdated furnaces that wasted energy and failed to meet emission standards," says CEO Fatima Al-Zaabi. "Our furnaces cut energy use by 30% and pair seamlessly with our air pollution control system equipment , making compliance easy for clients." Today, Al-Mustaqbal's portfolio includes everything from lead acid battery breaking and separation system to lithium-ion battery recycling lines. Their 2023 project in Dubai, a 5,000 sq.m facility, processes 10,000 tons of lead batteries annually, using their signature furnace to melt lead grids into reusable ingots. "Our clients aren't just buying equipment—they're buying peace of mind," adds Al-Zaabi. "We stay with them long after installation, training teams and optimizing processes to ensure they hit sustainability targets."

For Gulf Green Energy Solutions, recycling is about more than metal—it's about empowering local communities. Based in Riyadh, this family-owned business has been a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's recycling sector since 2005, specializing in cable recycling equipment and metal melting furnace equipment . "When we started, most scrap cables were sent abroad for processing," recalls founder Ahmed Al-Saud. "We wanted to keep that value here, so we invested in medium frequency furnaces that could handle the tough insulation and copper cores of Saudi's telecom and power cables." Their flagship furnace, the GGE-500, melts 500kg of copper per hour and integrates with a hydraulic briquetter equipment to compress plastic insulation into sellable pellets. In 2023, they partnered with Saudi Electricity Company to build a cable recycling plant in Jeddah, processing 2,000 tons of scrap cables yearly. "It's not just about profit," Al-Saud emphasizes. "We train local workers, many of whom were previously unemployed, to operate the equipment. Now, they're skilled technicians, building careers in green tech."

Qatar's push for a post-oil economy has given rise to innovators like Sustainable Systems ME, a 2015 startup that's become a go-to for electronic waste recycling. "E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, and Qatar is no exception," explains CTO Dr. Hassan Khalid. "Our circuit board recycling plant wcbd-2000a with dry separator, paired with a medium frequency furnace, turns old circuit boards into gold—literally. We recover copper, gold, and silver with 99% purity." What sets Sustainable Systems apart is its focus on dry processing, which eliminates water waste. Their dry process equipment shreds circuit boards into powder, and their furnace melts the metal fraction into ingots, while plastics are recycled into 3D printing filaments. "Our 2024 project in Jeddah processes 200kg of circuit boards daily, and we're expanding to Kuwait next year," Dr. Khalid notes. "The Middle East doesn't need to import recycled metals—we can produce them locally, sustainably."

GreenTech may be German-engineered, but it's firmly rooted in the Middle East, with offices in Dubai and Riyadh. "We've adapted our technology to the region's needs—hot climates, varying scrap quality, and a demand for mobility," says regional manager Karl Schmidt. Their star product? The portable PHBM series, including the portable briquette machine l portable metal powder compressor phbm-003 , a compact furnace that melts and briquettes metal powder on-site, ideal for remote construction sites or small-scale recyclers. For larger operations, their stationary medium frequency furnaces (up to 10 tons/day capacity) integrate with plastic pneumatic conveying system to automate scrap feeding. "Our 2024 project in Oman's Duqm port uses three of these furnaces to recycle ship scrap metal, cutting transport costs by 40%," Schmidt explains. "We believe recycling should be accessible to everyone, whether you're a multinational or a local scrap dealer."

As the Middle East explores lithium mining to support electric vehicle adoption, ME Recycling Innovations is leading the charge in processing lithium ore. "Lithium extraction is energy-intensive, but our lithium ore extraction equipment and medium frequency furnaces make it feasible," says founder Dr. Layla Mohammed. "We use a dry separation process to extract lithium from ore, then melt it into high-purity ingots—all with minimal water use." Their 2023 project in Saudi Arabia's Neom tech city is a 1,000-ton/year lithium processing plant, the first of its kind in the region. "We're not just recycling waste—we're creating a domestic supply chain for critical minerals," Dr. Mohammed adds. "Pair that with our tailing ore extraction equipment , which recovers lithium from mining waste, and we're setting a new standard for responsible mining."

When it comes to high-capacity metal melting, PowerMelt delivers. Founded in 2015, this Bahraini firm specializes in furnaces for large-scale scrap yards, with capacities up to 50 tons/day. "Our 4-shaft shredders break down cars, appliances, and even refrigerators into manageable scrap, which then feeds into our medium frequency furnaces," says sales director Salem Al-Khalifa. "We recently supplied a 20-ton furnace to a Dubai scrap hub that processes 100 cars daily—turning junk into construction-grade steel." PowerMelt's furnaces are known for durability, with reinforced linings that last 30% longer than industry averages. "Scrap metal is tough on equipment, so we design for the long haul," Al-Khalifa notes. "Our clients tell us our furnaces pay for themselves in 18 months, thanks to lower maintenance and higher throughput."

Ever wondered what happens to old refrigerators and AC units? EcoCycle Engineering does the dirty work, turning these appliances into reusable metals and plastics. "Refrigerators have foam, copper coils, and steel frames—you need specialized equipment to separate them," says CEO Rajesh Patel. Their process starts with a refrigerator recycling equipment that safely extracts refrigerants, followed by a motor stator cutter equipment to recover copper from compressors, and finally, a medium frequency furnace to melt the steel. Their 2023 Abu Dhabi facility processes 500 appliances monthly, and they're expanding to include li battery recycling equipment next year. "Appliance recycling is a hidden gem—there's so much value in 'waste'," Patel says. "Our furnace runs on 100% solar power, making the entire process carbon-neutral. That's the future we're building."

Advanced Recycling Systems (ARS) is all about precision. Their circuit board recycling plant with dry separator 500-2000kg/hour capacity uses air classification and electrostatic separation to recover metals, while their medium frequency furnace ensures purity. "Circuit boards have gold, palladium, even rare earth elements—you can't afford to lose a gram," says technical director Nasser Al-Mansoori. "Our dry separator captures 99.5% of metals, and our furnace melts them into bars that jewelers and electronics manufacturers crave." ARS's 2022 project in Jeddah was a game-changer for local e-waste recyclers, who previously sent boards abroad. "Now, they process locally, create jobs, and keep profits in the region," Al-Mansoori adds. "We're not just selling machines—we're building self-sufficient recycling ecosystems."

Global Eco Machines (GEM) brings decades of Asian recycling expertise to the Middle East, offering "one-stop shops" for recyclers. "Many clients start with a furnace but quickly need shredders, separators, and pollution control—we provide it all," says Middle East head Priya Sharma. Their turnkey solutions include wet process equipment for battery recycling, hydraulic baler equipment for compacting scrap, and their flagship medium frequency furnace, which handles everything from aluminum cans to lithium battery black mass. Their 2024 Bahrain facility, a 10-acre recycling park, is a showcase: it processes cables, batteries, and e-waste under one roof, using GEM's furnace to melt 5 tons of metal daily. "The Middle East is ready to lead in circular economy," Sharma says. "We're here to make sure they have the tools to do it."
