Suitable for all metals!
The 3.5 kW induction heating means that the material melts extremely rapidly in an atmosphere without oxidation. All metals – also platinum and steel – can be cast without difficulty. The crucibles are large enough to solve any standard casting task one would find in a studio or atelier with no difficulty at all. The flasks can also accommodate larger or heavier jewellery parts. It is equally possible to melt and cast minimal amounts of metal.
The entire process is extremely fast, especially if the goldsmith uses so-called speed investment compounds. This enables rapid response to new models, fulfillment of express orders and the implementation of last-minute ideas, for example before a trade fair.
Rapid and simple casting
The whole process of casting can be carried out simply, quickly and safely without any real prior technical knowledge of casting. In the investment machine the gipsum gets mixed under vacuum – correctly dosed and air bubble free. The flask with the wax model gets filled under vacuum, too. Vibration during filling eliminates air inclusions.
The wax is molten off in the furnace and the mould is burnt out.
MC 16, the new MC series basic model
- Perfectly suited for small castings and small series
- Minimum material consumption – a thimble may be the right measure
- 3.5 KW induction heating for fast heating and high maximum temperature
- Even for the casting of steel and platinum
- Fast process time thanks to short heating period of the flasks
- The MC 16 mini casting machine is very easy to use
After pouring, the MC series automatically switch to overpressure in order to optimise the mould filling even for delicate parts. Alternatively it is also possible to keep the vacuum.

Mini Casting Systems
All jewellery designers have waited a long time for this innovation: a compact casting system for small studios, with which high-quality casts can be made economically. We have now launched this kind of casting system in different versions:
The MC 16 for the very fast and uncomplicated casting of single models in high quality and every metal, even in steel or platinum. Wth its LCD Display the handling is very easy although by having a programm control.
The MC 60 V for the production of smaller casting trees in gold, silver and other special jewellery alloys, aluminium, copper and other metals.
The MC 20 V with the Indutherm vibration system, programm control and LCD-display for high quality jewellery casting especially in platinum, palladium or steel.
The MC 100 V also with the Indutherm vibration system, programm control and LCD-display for the production of larger casting trees particularly in platinum, palladium or steel.
In order to make the step into the world of casting as simple as possible, we also offer the complete equipment.
A complete casting system covering just a few square feet:
On the table on the left: Vacuum investment machine for bubble-free mixing of the investment compound and filling of the flask. The integrated vibrator eliminates any possible airlocks. The 1100°C furnace for melting out the wax and burn-out the form. Mini casting machine, here the MC 20 V. Sand blasting cabinet for easy removal of plaster.

MC 60 V
The Table Top Casting Machine MC 60 V
The compact solution for small series casting in gold, silver and other special jewellery alloysThe MC 60 V has been developed with the user in mind for whom the MC 16 is too small but a simple machine from the large VC series (e.g. the VC 400) is too big or requires too much manual operation. This small high-performance casting machine is ideal for smaller production quantities and can be used for jewellery alloys such as gold, silver, copper and bronze, as well as for alloys of brass and aluminium. Thanks to the vacuum and overpressure functions and the many automatic control features, the machine provides first class castings with little work – suitable for “beginners”.
