Continuous Casting |
|
|
|
Metals and precious metals can be continuously cast in a variety of forms.This shows a silver bar and the stock grain that is used to cast the bar.The bar was produced on a machine that we designed and built for use in the precious metals industry. |

This photo shows a typical continuous casting machine. The crucible is in the thermally insulated box that is immediately in front of the man, to the right of this is the control unit and the induction heater can be seen on the extreme right hand side. |

Centrifugal Casting |
|
|
|
Centrifugal casting machines are used in the manufacture of jewelry, dental and industrial products.The induction heating power unit is built into the base of the equipment.As many of these machines are for use in small laboratories, the equipment has been designed to split into two parts so that the machine can easily pass through a small doorway.Typical metals processed with this equipment are gold, silver, platinum, cobalt and their alloys. |
Spectral Analysis |
|
|
|
This photograph shows a small workhead, crucible and tweezers that are typically used in metallurgical laboratories for preparing metal samples for spectral analysis.Heating energy for these small melting units is normally supplied from our 1 or 2kW power supplies. This type of equipment is also used in schools, technical colleges and universities to economically demonstrate the principles of induction metal melting. |
