Vacuum Casting Machine
The Volcano Corporation vacuum casting machine (VVCM-1), also known as an automatic casting machine for jewelry, casts any precious metal within the weight range of 1-6 kg. Whether working with gold, copper, silver, or other metals, this machine excels in processing and creating metal artwork. As an ideal choice for an automatic jewelry casting machine, the SPB-DM offers exceptional speed and energy efficiency.
The SuperbMelt SPB-DM ensures flawless results by eliminating concerns about density, shrinkage, or air holes in your final piece. It features a gas chamber that releases pressurized inert gases, which effectively prevents any form of porosity or shrinkage, resulting in a piece with impeccable appearance and elegance.
Additionally, the strong induction stirring ensures that gold alloys achieve a uniform consistency.
