More flexibility, lower costs
With an Indutherm continuous casting machine, you can quickly produce your own alloys or semi-finished products in various shapes and sizes.
- Wires or bars up to ø 90 mm
- Sheet and strips, e.g. ring production, for stamping and pressing
- Tubes, perfect as basic material for cutting in sections for wedding ring production
- Granules and flakes
Using a continuous casting machine can significantly reduce your material storage investment. Your processes will become faster, more flexible, and more efficient. Our continuous casting machines feature unique innovations that greatly enhance the quality of semi-finished materials, such as the exclusive vacuum system and the QUATTRO DRIVE drawing system. For more details, see the next page. Additionally, a wide range of optional equipment further enhances the versatility of these machines.
Unique vacuum system
For highest quality of semi-finished material:
To minimize the risk of oxidation during melting and drawing, we prioritize preventing oxygen exposure and rapidly reducing the temperature of the drawn material.
Features for fast temperature reduction:
- Cooling water temperature measurement and automatic flow control
- Optical temperature measurement in the center of the die
- Die cooler
- Additional secondary cooling system at the outlet
Features to avoid oxygen contact:
- Vacuum system for the melting chamber – uniquely available for Indutherm continuous casting machines (VCC versions)
- _ Feeding system for re-charging without oxygen contact and with constant vacuum in the melting chamber
- Inert gas system for the melting chamber
- Inert gas flushing at the die
- Optical die temperature measurement
These measures are particularly beneficial for copper-containing alloys like red gold or silver, as these materials are prone to oxidation.
Granulation tank and flake kit
The easy-to-install granulation tank and flake kit enhance the versatility of every CC machine.
Sintering kit
Sintering and diffusion bonding are ideal processes for creating multi-colored rings, commonly used as wedding bands, or bracelets. These metals are processed under pressure and at temperatures below their solidification point. The pressure is applied pneumatically rather than mechanically via a threaded spindle, eliminating the risk of graphite parts breaking due to heat expansion. The fusion between layers is as durable as the metal itself. The sintering kit is perfect for occasional diffusion bonding tasks and smaller series production.
Bar casting kit
The bar casting kit is designed to cast precise quantities of your alloy into ingot molds or other molds. The program control recognizes the installed equipment and automatically provides the appropriate parameter settings on the display.
Quattro Drive System
In each of our continuous casting machines, the material is drawn off by motor-driven and pneumatically pressed feed rolls. A bar end control sensor automatically stops the process when the molten material is depleted.
The optional Quattro Drive drawing unit, featuring four motor-driven feed rolls instead of two, produces smoother tubes and sheets with fewer transportation marks.
