Cupola furnace is generally used in manufacturing to melt Cast irons.
This works on the principle of generating heat from the burning coke and when temperature of furnace is above the melting point of metal the process continues.
As charge we put some pig iron, scrap,coke, lime stone(Flux).
There is coke bed at bottom which is ignited first and then charging is done. Then air is passed through the tuyeres and combustion of coke occurs and of having sufficient temperature the melting occurs and Cast iron is tapped afterwards.

See lessCupola furnace is charged with coke which raises the carbon content of metal and also ferro silicon and manganese is added to increase the silicon content and produce heat to melt the charge.
