Yasui K2 NEXT 10 kW: Industrial Vacuum Pressure Casting Excellence
The Yasui K2 NEXT 10 kW is a high-power industrial casting solution engineered for large-scale operations that demand both high-volume output and metallurgical perfection. Manufactured in Japan, this robust 250 kg system provides a complete vacuum atmosphere to ensure flawless, oxide-free jewelry production. By utilizing a 10 kW oscillation power source, the K2 NEXT handles significantly larger melt volumes while maintaining the extreme precision and "OXY-Free" quality that professional casting houses require.
Advanced Thermal & Metal Management
This system features a high-speed induction heating unit that provides extra mixing during the melt to ensure perfect segregation and a homogeneous gold alloy. To protect your investment, the K2 NEXT utilizes proprietary Variable Heat Control to minimize alloy evaporation and gold loss.
- Precision Temperature: The microprocessor-controlled P.I.D. auto-tuning system maintains temperature accuracy within +/- 2 degrees.
- Thermal Range: While the standard K-Type thermocouple reaches 1200°C, an optional R-Type thermocouple allows for high-performance casting up to 1450°C.
- Oxidation Protection: A specialized "OXY-Free" after-mode cooling system eliminates surface oxidation, keeping precious metals bright and reducing finishing time.
- Metal De-Gassing: Integrated de-gas cycles ensure the removal of trapped gases, resulting in compact, high-density castings with excellent mold filling.
Industrial Throughput & Control
The 10 kW model is built for rapid, back-to-back casting cycles, featuring a massive 158 cc crucible volume capable of handling up to 1.5 kg of 18 kt gold.
- Smart Memory: The E-Touch control panel stores 100 full-parameter programs in its memory, allowing for the immediate recall of optimal settings for different alloys.
- Airtight Sealing: A gas-cylinder elevation system secures the flask to ensure a tight gas seal during the 0.3 MPa pressure cycle.
- Flexible Flask Sizing: Accommodates standard 125 x 230 mm (5 x 9 in) flasks, with an optional chamber available for larger 125 x 300 mm (5 x 11.8 in) flasks.
- Advanced Monitoring: Features a precise double-needle gauge with improved pressure sensing and accurate timing for consistent results.
Technical Footprint & System Stability
Designed for ease of maintenance and high process stability, the K2 NEXT 10 kW includes a self-diagnosis feature to monitor machine health and minimize downtime. The unit operates on a 380V, 3-phase power source and requires a dedicated vacuum pump with a minimum of 11 cfm to maintain its industrial casting atmosphere. With unboxed dimensions of 721 x 753 x 1201 mm (29 x 30 x 48 in), this system provides the power and footprint necessary for modern, high-capacity manufacturing environments.
Professional Support: All Yasui units are backed by Romanoff International’s technical remote training and after-sales support. For facilities operating on 220V, a dedicated Step-Up Transformer (77-014-T1) is available to ensure peak performance.
