Indutherm VTC Series: Versatile Vacuum Pressure Casting
The VTC 100 V – VTC 800 V are exceptionally versatile casting machines designed to handle a vast range of materials, from standard precious metals to high-temperature and highly reactive alloys.
By combining a dual-chamber differential pressure system with a 90° tilting mechanism, the VTC series overcomes the traditional limitations of vertical casting, allowing for the use of more durable, cost-effective crucibles even for difficult materials like steel, palladium, and platinum (up to 2,000° C).
Advanced Technical Capabilities
- New Sweep Mode Vibration System: Utilizes variable frequencies to achieve perfect results in Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd). This eliminates the need for sensitive centrifugal mechanisms while ensuring superior mold filling and density.
- Differential Pressure & Tilting: The entire melting-casting unit rotates 90° for the pour. The flask is automatically pressed against the chamber, allowing for an immediate switch to overpressure to ensure fine detail and eliminate air pockets.
- Reactive Metal Support (Ti Version): Available for all VTC models, the "Ti" upgrade features reconstructed valves and seals to achieve a vacuum of 10-7 bar. This makes it an economic solution for casting Titanium and other highly reactive metals like copper beryllium.
- Modern Generator & LCD Control: A new generation of control systems allows every parameter—including the specific tilting speed—to be programmed and saved for 100% consistency across production runs.
Material Compatibility & Process Benefits
| Application | VTC Advantage |
|---|---|
| High-Temp Metals | Cast Platinum, Palladium, and Steel at temperatures up to 2,000° C. |
| Reactive Alloys | Specialized crucibles and 10-7 bar vacuum prevent reactions with Titanium. |
| Standard Jewelry | Economic production of Gold, Silver, and Copper with superior surface quality. |
| Process Flexibility | Supports casting into both flasks and ingot molds. |
The VTC series represents an economic breakthrough for casters who require high-pressure results without the handicaps of traditional open or centrifugal systems.
