MC 20 V with vibration technology
The MC 20 V is designed based on the same tilting principle as the MC 16. However it is systematically designed for intricate casting projects in continuous operation in larger foundries.
The new 2,000°C MC 20 V tabletop casting machine:
cutting-edge technology in the most compact space.
- Very easy and safe to use, short implementation time
- Excellent price-performance ratio
- 3,5 kW induction generator for quickly reaching the melting temperature
- Thorough through-mixing of molten metals using low-frequency induction tuning
- Melting under vacuum or inert gas to prevent oxidation
- Top quality form filling using overpressure of up to 3 bars (casting under vacuum also possible)
- Economical consumables
Latest generation generators
The MC 20 V is equipped with a latest generation induction generator, developed especially for this housing design and with high operating efficiency. Convenient, high precision control is provided via a new operating system, with an LCD display, full text display and program control.
Award-winning vibration technology – unique in its class
For the first time, our multi-award winning and patent-pending vibration system is now available in a compact casting machine. Using vibration when casting ensures better form filling, creating casts with greater, more consistent densities, higher elasticity and greatly reduced porosity. Vibration technology is a compelling alternative to the frequently used and relatively delicate centrifugal systems, especially when casting platinum or palladium.
