Description
- Large Volume Production with Excellent and Reproducible Results.
Schultheiss‘ VPC pure combines the latest technologies and years of experience in manufacturing, in one machine. It is the reliable all-rounder for your gold and silver jewelry production.
- Numerous Innovations Offer Even More Possibilities.
The VPC pure is a newly developed vacuum pressure casting unit designed for simple handling, assembly, and operation.
A large touch screen with overhauled interface provides easy and intuitive useability. This enables new and experienced casters to use the machine to its full potential. A fast number of functions can be saved in different programs within the system of the machine. We redesigned the melting chamber. The centric crucible and the new position of the thermocouple make maintaining and using the machine effortlessly.
- Even More Advantages for Very Fine Results.
With the new version of injection casting, it is possible to cast filigree items like wired designs or light weight jewelry with wall thicknesses of down to 0,15 mm at low temperatures.
Additionally, it brings you one more big unique advantage – the injection casting where the liquid precious metal is not poured but injected into the mold, allows to cast with very low metal and flask temperatures. By doing that, the cast results in a much smoother surface finish and even heavy designs solidify more quickly. Moreover, the lower casting temperatures support a safe stone casting process without breaking the gemstones.
- All Steps Work Completely Automatically.
The unit is designed for casting flasks with top sealing and all steps work completely automatically. Large volume production with reproducible results can be achieved as the average cast time is less than four minutes per cast. Castable materials are silver, gold, and palladium-white-gold alloys. The intelligent induction heating adapts to the boundary conditions of the material and therefore enables casting with perfectly melted and mixed materials.
The device can be monitored from any PC using an IP connection and suitable software. This allows operational control, program exchange, and synchronization with multiple units. Operator assistance, service, maintenance operation, and program updates can be concluded by remote maintenance. The casting process is activated simply by pushing a button.
