The VC-1000 HTC (High Temperature Casting) is specifically designed to meet the extreme thermal demands of casting platinum and stainless steel. It features specialized induction coils and refractory materials that can safely and efficiently handle temperatures well above 1800°C. The vacuum and pressure systems are optimized for the high density and rapid cooling rates of these tough alloys, ensuring a flawless finish. This machine is an essential investment for luxury jewelry brands that specialize in platinum collections and require a dedicated system for high-temperature metals.
Indutherm VC (HTC) Series: High-Temperature Precision Casting
The Indutherm VC (HTC) Series represents the pinnacle of vacuum pressure casting technology. Specifically developed for industrial parts and high-end jewelry, these machines offer unparalleled flexibility and reliability for professionals working with a broad range of alloys and complex geometries.
The HTC Advantage: Extreme Temperature Control
What sets the HTC (High Temperature Control) models apart is their superior thermal capacity. While standard machines reach their limits much earlier, the VC 1000V HTC is engineered for extreme performance:
- Industry-Leading Heat: Achieve precise indirect inductive heating up to 1850°C.
- Made for Tough Alloys: Specifically designed to handle high-melting-point materials such as steel, platinum, and specialized industrial alloys.
- Optical Precision: Temperature is monitored by a high-accuracy optical pyrometer to ensure stability at extreme thermal loads.
Optimized Productivity: The independent management of melting and mold chambers allows for "overlapping production." While one flask cools, the next melting cycle begins immediately, significantly boosting hourly throughput.
Advanced Technical Features
- Sweep Mode Vibration: Standard equipment that utilizes variable frequencies to ensure metal distributes evenly, reducing air pockets and improving density.
- Turbulence Reduction Software: Proprietary algorithms minimize metal splashing and turbulence during the pour for a smoother surface finish.
- Digital Recipe Management: Store up to 100 custom casting recipes, alongside factory-optimized programs for major alloy brands like Pandora, Legor, and Heraeus.
- Vacuum & Pressure Logic: Prevents oxidation and enhances mold filling, even for highly detailed or thin-walled models.
