In this work, we report the basic performance of a 100 kW class mobile plasma melting system consisting of two 24-ft commercial containers, each in charge of the plasma utilities and melting process. In this system, a 100 kW class transferred type plasma torch has been installed together with a crucible having an inner volume of 2,884 cm3. Filling the inner volume of the crucible with the simulated metal waste, such as bolts and nuts, melting tests have been carried out for 5 min by varying plasma input power from 50 kW to 100 kW. By measuring the volume of metal waste before and after melting test, then, the volume reduction rates were estimated and discussed.
