Machines for melting and casting steel

These machines are designed for melting and casting steel and other metals with a high temperature melting point.

TF 3000 C high temperature tilting furnace

This melting furnace has been specially designed to melt large quantities of steel or other metals with a high melting point. The strong induction generator and low induction frequency means very good mixing of the metal can be achieved.
The main areas of applications are:
  • casting voluminous parts such as sculptures (also sand casting) 
  • purification melting of waste        
  • casting of ingots
  • casting of solid rollers 

VTC 200 vacuum/pressure casting machine

The VTC 200 combines the features of two series:
the VC series construction and the MC table top series principle of tilted casting.
With an induction generator of 15 kW peak perfor­mance, a maximum temperature of 2000°C, a 200 ccm ceramic crucible, and manual or automatic vacuum / overpressure function, it has been possible to create the VTC 200 as a first class high temperature machine for casting platinum, palladium, copper beryllium or steel – with an unbeatable price / performance ratio. All parameters can be monitored and controlled via the new LCD display.
Pouring takes place using a motor drive to tip the entire melting / casting unit. The automatic pouring function with precisely controlled pouring speed ensures reproducible casting results.

VTC 2400 vacuum/pressure casting machine

The VTC 2400 has been specially developde for the precision investment casting of steel. With 16 kg of steel per casting this machine offers a capacity previously unknown to many users.
It isdesigned as a double chamber differential pressure system. Melting and pouring can take place under vacuum or inert gas. To pour, simply tilt the entire inductor housing, together with the crucible and casting mould. The VTC 2400 can be used for shell castings, sand castings or flask castings.

The ceramic crucibles have been specially de­­signed for our high temperature casting machines. They exhibit excellent resilience to extreme heat, ensure a minimum loss of energy and allow a lower ambient temperature in the melting chamber.

Tip for small quantities:

To melt small quantities of steel use the TM 50 C and MU 200 C open melting machines, for small castings under vacuum/overpressure use the MC 15

New option for the TF-machines: tilting by wheel.

The wheel allows the user to stand to the side instead of in front of the machine. That's much safer when pouring large quantities (user cannot be hidden by metal splashes) and thanks to gearing and brake a better control is guaranteed.

Large capacity for Pt and steel

The capacity of about 1 kg of steel or 2 kg of platinum allows a very effective and economical production of jewellery in these materials. A very important benefit for all productions in palladium is the possibility of melting under vacuum or under protective gas atmosphere and the casting with overpressure.
