Indutherm VTC Series: The Universal Casting Solution
The VTC 100 V – VTC 800 V are exceptionally versatile machines that bridge the gap between high-temperature industrial casting and precious metal jewelry production. By utilizing a 90° tilting mechanism instead of a bottom-pour stopper rod, the VTC series handles everything from Platinum and Steel (up to 2,000° C) to Gold, Silver, and Aluminum.
New Sweep Mode Vibration & Control
- Sweep Mode Vibration: Features advanced vibration technology with variable frequencies. This creates perfect results in Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd) without the need for the bulky, sensitive centrifugal mechanisms found in traditional machines.
- Next-Gen Generator: A completely redesigned control system with an intuitive LCD display allows you to save all parameters—including variable tilting speed—to ensure 100% repeatability.
Titanium (Ti) & Reactive Metal Solutions
Casting highly reactive metals like Titanium or Copper Beryllium requires an environment free of atmospheric contamination. The VTC Ti-versions provide an economic solution for these challenging materials:
- Ultra-High Vacuum: Reconstructed valves, specialized seals, and inert gas flushing allow the machine to reach a vacuum of 10-7 bar.
- Specialized Consumables: Custom-developed crucibles and inductors prevent the chemical reactions that typically occur between Titanium and standard ceramic crucibles.
- Speed & Safety: Optimized smelting times reduce the window for potential material reactions, ensuring the purity of the alloy.
Differential Pressure & Tilting Mechanism
The VTC series eliminates the "leaky stopper rod" issues common with reactive alloys. By rotating the entire melting unit, you gain several advantages:
| Technical Feature | Performance Result |
|---|---|
| 90° Rotation | Allows the use of durable, economical graphite or ceramic crucibles. |
| Dual Chamber Vacuum | Prevents oxidation during melting and eliminates air pockets in the mold. |
| Automatic Pressure Switch | Instantly shifts to overpressure during the pour for maximum mold filling. |
| Ingot Casting | Versatility to cast into both flasks and traditional ingot molds. |
The VTC series is the ideal choice for manufacturers who need a single machine capable of handling both standard precious metals and high-performance industrial alloys.
