The MTC 100 V
is a completely new, highly professional casting system for casting platinum or other high temperature metal to be molten in ceramic crucibles. Instead of a fault-prone centrifugal casting principle, Indutherm relies on a specially developed, automatic pressure and tilting system. This means that the new MTC 100 V can not only be designed to be very compact, but also enables excellent mould filling for both delicate and solid castings. A crucible capacity of 600 g Pt, a possible flask size of up to ø 100 * 150 mm and a maximum temperature of 2,100° C are the key technical data. A multi-frequency infrared pyrometer, automatic tilting with adjustable speed and variable pressure build-up ensure optimal process control and consistently high casting quality.
The new machine is maximum versatile by also working with a graphite crucible to cast alloys for example based on Au, Ag, Cu and others. There is no need to change any hardware components of the induction system. In addition, it can be cast not only in jewellery moulds, but also in ingot moulds.
Excellent form filling thanks to novel high speed pressure and tilting system
- Maximum casting quality by perfect form filling, less porosity andfinest surface quality
- Up to 600 gr Pt, for flasks up to Ø 100*150 mm
- Can also be used to cast gold and silver alloys
- Also for casting ingots
- High quality multi-wavelength infrared pyrometer (option)
- 8 kW induction power, up to 2100° C
- Automatic tilting with adjustable speed
- Adjustable pressure build-up
- Compact design and so much safer than a centrifugal caster!
