Indutherm VC Series: High-Performance Vacuum Casting
The Indutherm VC Series represents a new generation of high-performance vacuum casting systems designed for maximum efficiency, precision, and reliability. Engineered for jewelry manufacturers, casters, and industrial users, these systems combine advanced temperature control, automated pressure management, and intelligent process software.
From delicate filigree pieces to high-volume production, the VC Series ensures consistent casting results, minimized metal loss, and shorter cycle times—all while reducing operating costs and extending the service life of consumables.
Key Features & Advantages
- Overlapping Casting & Chamber Handling: Features separate locking systems for the melting and cuvette chambers. This allows the next batch to melt while the previous cuvette remains under vacuum, significantly reducing cycle times.
- Vibration Technology: Improves metal flow and mold filling. This results in higher casting density and reduces grain size by up to 50%, virtually eliminating porosity and hot cracks.
- Advanced Program Control: Includes a full-text LCD display with up to 100 programmable casting sequences, ensuring reliable production from the very first cuvette without expensive trial casts.
- Dual Temperature Control: Monitors both the crucible wall and the crucible center for strict thermal accuracy.
- Vacuum & Overpressure Control: Utilizes TurboPressure PLUS for rapid activation of overpressure, ensuring perfect mold packing for fine and delicate pieces.
