Indutherm VC Large Vacuum Casting Machine - VC3000

Capacity & Power For Large Scale Projects

The right machine for every application

Our large vacuum pressure casting machines are mostly used for precise castings in aluminum alloys. They are always the first choice for parts with complicated geometry or when the number of pieces is not large enough for die-cast production.

Easy-to-Use

These machines are designed to be as easy to use as possible for the caster, producing top results with very little training required. This line also breeds efficiency with the ability to Change of crucible/stopper rod in a very short time.

New Interface Technology

The RS 232 user interface on these machines is designed with business in mind. Aside from the control it grants the user, a complete data record is available to be both accessed and printed.

Top-Tier Performance

VC1000, VC3000, and VC12000 boast top-of-the-line performance results at a much more economical price tag than its contemporaries, representing leading value-performance ratio marks in the industry.

The V-Versions with Vibration

Each machine is available in two versions: The standard versions offer 20 casting programs, the V-versions have 100 programs and as the most important innovation, they use the vibration technology for improved form filling.

Vibration technology for better casting results

The Indutherm vibration system

• Vibration during casting improves material flow and thus mold filling.
• The density of the castings is higher and more uniform.
• The porosity is significantly reduced.
• 50% smaller grain sizes
• reduced risk of breakages (hot cracks)
• Cast parts have better tension and elastic properties, which makes them easier to process

Magnesium Casting Versions

The magnesium casting versions are constructed according to strict safety requirements and guarantee safe and easy casting of magnesium - and of course of every other metal too.

Variety of Applications

Automatic Vacuum and Overpressure in Melting and Cuvette Chambers

Maintaining the right pressure in the melting chamber is crucial for degassing the metal and preventing unwanted oxidation, which is particularly vital when melting copper-containing alloys. By creating a vacuum in the cuvette chamber, mold filling is enhanced, especially for delicate parts, and air pockets are minimized. Additionally, the system shifts to overpressure in the melting chamber, thereby increasing the pressure differential.

Reducing Oxidation After Casting

 This specialized system mitigates the risk of oxidation during the cooling of the cuvette.

Vibration technology for better casting results

Turbulence Reduction Software (TRS)

TRS facilitates a faster and more consistent metal flow, enhancing mold filling. It also prevents critical parts of the plaster mold from breaking off and becoming trapped in the casting.
