St. Louis #82: Professional Vacuum Investing System
The St. Louis #82 is a professional-grade vacuum investment system designed for the high-detail requirements of gold casting. This Italian-made unit is engineered to eliminate the manual variables that cause surface defects, allowing you to mix and pour up to 18 flasks per hour within a fully controlled vacuum environment. By consolidating mixing, pouring, and de-gassing into a single workstation, the #82 acts as a high-performance solution for busy studios, producing consistently bubble-free, high-density castings.
Controlled Vacuum Performance
The core advantage of the St. Louis system is the ability to maintain a deep vacuum throughout the entire cycle, preventing air entrapment before the slurry even hits the flask.
- Integrated Vacuum Pump: This unit comes equipped with a high-performance vacuum pump, specifically calibrated to reach deep vacuum levels instantly for optimal de-gassing.
- Two-Speed Mixing: Features a versatile two-speed motor and integrated timer to ensure the perfect slurry consistency for every batch of gold investment.
- Simultaneous Vibration: An integrated vibration table under the flasks ensures the investment settles perfectly into every fine detail of your models.
- Reduced Reject Rates: By eliminating air exposure during the pour, you virtually eliminate the surface porosity and bubbles common in separate operations.
Streamlined Workflow
Designed for simplicity, the user-friendly interface allows any operator to be trained for professional production in just a few minutes.
- All-in-One Operation: Eliminates the need for separate mixing bowls, pouring stations, and vacuum chambers, saving significant bench space and labor.
- Enclosed Drum Design: Flasks are positioned in a secure, enclosed drum directly beneath the mixing blades for a direct-pour vacuum seal.
- Electronic Alignment: Easily rotate the internal table to align each flask perfectly under the pouring valve for rapid, multi-flask processing.
- Visual Monitoring: The enclosed see-through mixing chamber allows for total quality control and surveillance of the investment slurry.
