According to the casting cycle, the furnace melts the alloy under protective gas and then casts in a vacuumed and preheated mould. During the solidification a compression is applied on the metal.
Heating is provided by a medium frequency induction generator, to assure an optimal stirring of the alloys while the temperature is accurately measured by a thermocouple. Process environment is divided in two parts each one with separated vacuum/pressure control, in order to obtain different vacuum values when casting. This allows to take control of the injection rate and ingot grain dimension.
The melting chamber accepts a cylindrical crucible made of graphite in different sizes with an hole in the bottom and a stopper rod which operates an open/close action.
The mould chamber accepts the mould to be vacuumed. The proper mould material is chosen according to the alloy to be cast.
Operator panel is simple and intuitive and, for the control of the casting process, you need only three pushbuttons.
To edit your 100 casting programs and monitor the process, a Touch-Screen with Synoptic Display is provided. The machine comes out with a number of programs already set and ready to be used for the most common alloys.
The productivity of this machines is very high, enabling to cast ingots of 3 kg in less than 5 minutes.
