With the MU series we offer melting machines for many different demands and with crucible capacities from 155 ccm up to 1,200 ccm. The material is molten in open crucibles and poured by hand into the mould.
Melting Units MU Series
Flexible melting furnaces designed to melt gold and silver alloys and as well as aluminium, bronze, brass a.s.o. Due to the strong induction generator up to 15 kW and the low induction frequency the stirring effect of the metal is excellent.
The MU as vacuum casting machine
The V-versions include one or two additional extra large capacity vacuum chambers. The evacuation of the flask immediately after pouring improves the form filling, reduces porosity and avoids the oxidisation of the hot metal.
The MU melting systems are also available as high-temperature melting systems with ceramic crucibles.

MU-Series systems used in the recycling processs
With the MU- and MUV-series we offer melting machines for many different needs and with crucible capacities from 155 ccm up to 1,200 ccm. The material is molten in open crucibles and poured by hand into the casting mould or ingot mould.
Melting Units MU Series
These melting furnaces are designed to melt gold and silver alloys and as well as aluminium, bronze, brass. Due to the strong induction generator (15 kW) and the low induction frequency the stirring effect of the metal is excellent.
The MU as vacuum casting machine: MUV/MUVV Series
The V-versions include one or two additional extra large capacity vacuum chambers. Evacuating the mold immediately after pouring improves the form filling, reduces porosity and avoids oxidation of the hot metal.
The melting machine MU 200 C
The MU 200 C is designed for melting metals with a high melting point, such as steel, palladium, platinum, chrome-cobalt etc. by the direct inductive heating system.
