The MC 100 V table-top casting machine - 2000° C plus capacity
The MC 100V can be used for a wide range of materials such as gold, silver, bronze as well as refractory metals such as platinum, palladium and steel.
- Very convenient and safe to operate, short training time
- 8 kW (3 x 400 V) induction generator for quickly reaching the melting temperature
- High capacity: crucibles with a casting volume of up to 450 g Au 18 ct or 500 g Pt, for flasks up to Ø 100 mm x 120 mm H
- Thorough mixing of the melt through low-frequency induction tuning
- Melting under vacuum or inert gas to prevent oxidation
- First-class mold filling due to overpressure up to 3 bar (casting under vacuum possible)
- Optical radiation thermometer for temperature measurements up to 2,000° C
The high demand for our MC 16 and VTC 200 V high-temperature tilting casting systems motivated us to develop the MC 100 V: many users wanted the compactness of the MC 16 but needed more capacity - but not as much as the large VTC 200 V offers. With the MC 100 V, we have closed this gap and can offer you a small high-tech system that combines the best of both alternatives: it is based on the space-saving design and the ingenious swiveling mechanism of the small MC 16, but offers numerous highlights of the much larger VTC system.
The latest generation of generators
The MC 100 V is equipped with the latest generation of induction generators, which have been specially developed for this type of housing and work extremely efficiently. It is conveniently and precisely controlled via a user-friendly system with LCD full text display and program control.
Award-winning vibration technology - a first in this class
Our multiple award-winning and patent-pending vibration process is being used for the first time in such a compact moulding machine. Casting with vibration ensures better mould filling and produces castings with higher and more uniform density, greater elasticity and extremely reduced porosity. Especially when casting platinum or palladium, the vibration technology is a convincing alternative to the otherwise frequently used and relatively susceptible centrifugal systems.
