Details on this product are sparse. It's extremely heavy, has a set of mounting flanges on top, is hollow all the way through the middle (no bottom) Has some entry ports on the side and is wrapped in extremely high grade steel.
Guessing it's for smelting / melting. Like an arc melter, furnace modules.

The steel is Outokumpu Therma 310S/4845. From their website :
General characteristics
Austenitic heat resisting 4845 grade with very good oxidation resistance. This grade 4845 belongs to austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel grades. A specific feature for 4845 grade is high chromium and high nickel contents, which make this grade suitable for use in high temperatures. A common feature of Outokumpu high temperature steels is that they are designed primarily for use at temperatures exceeding ~550 °C, i.e. in the temperature range where creep strength as a rule is the dimensioning factor and where HT corrosion occurs. Optimising steels for high temperatures has meant that their resistance to aqueous corrosion has been limited. All steels are austenitic, resulting in relatively high creep strength values.
Characteristic properties
• Good resistance to oxidation
• Good resistance to high-temperature corrosion
• Good mechanical strength at elevated temperatures
Typical applications
Outokumpu high temperature steels can be and have been used in a number of applications where the temperature exceeds 550°C, e.g. for equipment and components within:
Industrial furnace equipment
Oil industry equipment
Heat treatment baskets
Heat exchanges
Steam boilers and thermowells
Iron, steel, and non-ferrous industries
Engineering industry
Energy conversion plants
Cement industry
