The MC 15 Mini Casting Machine: Casting in studios

The MC 15 Mini Casting Machine:Casting in studiosThe MC 15 is designedfor:• the very fast anduncomplicatedcasting of singlemodels in highquality• casting of everymetal, even steel orPlatinumA significant factor forthe economic efficiencyis the low quantity ofmetal that must be calculatedfor buttom.Casting in studiosAll jewelry designers have waited a long timefor this innovation:a compact casting system for small studios,with which high-quality casts can be madeeconomically. We have now launched this kindof casting system and also offer the completeequipment in order to make the step into theworld of casting as simple as possible.Rapid and simple castingThe whole process of casting can be carried outsimply, quickly and safely without any realprior technical knowledge of casting. The waxmodel is placed in a small flask and investmentcompound is poured in around (the correctlydosed and bubble-free mixing of theinvestment compound in a vacuum is child’splay in the small vacuum mixing device). Thesmall vibrator plate eliminates any possible airbubbles that may form when the investmentcompound is poured in. The wax is melted offin the furnace and the form is burnt out.Handling of the mini casting system is alsoextremely simple: Fill in the material and heatup, insert the flask and close the machine. Thedevice itself looks after all additional functions– until we get to the stroke of genius: Pouringoff takes place using a 90° rotation of thecasting unit.After pouring, the MC 15 switches automaticallyto overpressure in order to optimize themold filling even for delicate parts.Suitable for all metalsThe 3.5 kW induction heating means thatthe material melts extremely rapidly in anatmosphere without oxidation. All metals –also platinum and steel – can be castwithout difficulty. The crucibles are largeenough to solve without any difficulty at allany standard casting task one would find ina studio or atelier. The flasks can also accommodatelarger or heavier jewelry parts. It isequally possible to melt and cast minimalamounts of metal.The entire process is extremely fast,especially if the goldsmith uses so-calledspeed investment compounds. This enablesrapid response to new models, fulfillment ofexpress orders and the implementation oflast-minute ideas, for example before a tradefair.
