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.
