Shop Now Precision and Flexibility for Complex Jewelry Design The Indutherm VC 490 V is engineered for jewelers, manufacturers, and designers who demand uncompromising casting performance. This fully automatic vacuum–overpressure casting system delivers exceptional metal flow, superior density, and repeatable precision—even for the most delicate filigree and intricate geometries. With its powerful induction system, advanced stirring effect, and vacuum/pressure control, the VC 490 V delivers foundry-grade results in a compact, workshop-friendly footprint. Whether you’re casting fine jewelry, preparing alloys, producing small bars, or granulating metal, this machine is built for reliability, efficiency, and versatility. Key Advantages Fully Automatic Vacuum–Overpressure Casting: Automates every step of the melt-and-cast cycle, ensuring flawless, repeatable results with minimal operator intervention. Precision PID Temperature Control: Maintains exact melt temperatures through advanced thermocouple monitoring, protecting alloy chemistry and casting accuracy. Vibration-Assisted Casting Technology: Enhances metal flow into fine details, resulting in sharper definition, smaller grain size, and stronger final castings. Built-In Software Automation & Safety: Includes 100 programmable cycles, self-diagnostics, turbulence-reduction algorithms, and automatic chamber locking. Graphite Crucible System: Create your own custom alloys with precision. Indirect induction heat combined with a natural stirring motion delivers perfectly consistent temperatures and clean, stable melts every time. Professional Results Every Time The VC 490 V uses an indirect induction heating system with a graphite crucible to achieve fast, uniform melting with excellent stirring action. This ensures both clean alloying and homogenous metal temperature—essential for porosity-free results and accurate metal chemistry. Perfect for gold and silver. Its high-speed pressure system fills molds rapidly and smoothly, while adjustable vacuum in the flask chamber minimizes turbulence and oxidation during casting. The result: cleaner surfaces, sharper detail, and consistently strong castings.
