Indutherm Large-Scale Vacuum Pressure Casting The Indutherm large-scale series is engineered for high-capacity, precision casting—making it the premier choice for aluminum alloys and complex geometries. These systems bridge the gap between prototyping and mass production, offering an economical alternative to die-casting for small to medium batches without sacrificing industrial performance. Top-Tier Performance & Efficiency Leading Value-Performance Ratio: The VC 1000, VC 3000, and VC 12000 deliver professional results at a highly competitive price point. User-Friendly Operation: Designed for ease of use, these machines require minimal training to produce top-tier results. Rapid Maintenance: Change crucible and stopper rods in a very short time to maximize uptime. Data Management: Equipped with an RS 232 interface for complete process control, data recording, and printing. Advanced Casting Technologies The V-Versions: Integrated Vibration Technology Available as an upgrade, the "V" versions expand capacity from 20.0 to 100.0 casting programs. The most significant innovation is the Indutherm Vibration System, which provides: Improved material flow and superior mold filling. Uniformly higher density and significantly reduced porosity. 50.0% smaller grain sizes for better mechanical properties. Reduced risk of hot cracks and improved elastic properties for easier post-processing. Pressure & Atmosphere Control Automatic vacuum and overpressure systems in both the melting and cuvette chambers ensure a flawless cast. The vacuum degasses the metal to prevent oxidation (essential for copper-based alloys), while the system shifts to overpressure to increase the pressure differential for delicate parts. Specialized Versions & Applications Magnesium Casting Built to strict safety requirements for the secure handling of magnesium and other reactive metals. TRS Software Turbulence Reduction Software ensures a faster, more consistent metal flow and protects the plaster mold from breaking. Industry Versatility Perfect for automotive, medical technology, orthopedics, and even large-scale sculpture work.
