PRODUCE YOUR OWN ALLOYS UNDER CAREFULLY CONTROLLED CONDITIONS
				The MEMCO ALLOY MASTER® gives you precision control of the melting, alloying and shotting process. Alloy Master® Advantages • Rapid induction melting • Large ceramic crucible • Accurate alloying temperature • Deoxidizing atmosphere • Powerful blender • Clean, uniform shot • Cool, quite, safe • Reliable
	CERAMIC CRUCIBLES
		The unique MEMCO® ceramic crucible offers many advantages over common graphite crucibles: • Completely inert to prevent chemical interaction and contamination of the melt. • Durable ceramic also has much longer life because it does not oxidize, crumble and fall into melt.  It does not leak. • Bottom pour arrangement assure maximum operator safety in pouring molten metal. • Precision orifice controls pour rate to control shot size. • Electrically transparent ceramic allows metal to be constantly stirred. • Off center mounting of the valve rod provides unobstructed area to load large metal pieces and stir the metal.
	ACCURATE METAL TEMPERATURE
		Accurate, reliable alloying temperature is very important to the process.  Some alloys can tolerate only a few degrees error.  MEMCO® uses an immersion thermocouple in the bottom of the valve rod to directly measure the metal's temperature.  This bottom location gives accurate measurement regardless of the amount of metal.  This pyrometer is made specifically for use in the Alloy Master®.  A horn alerts the operator as it approaches the pre-selected temperature.
	HEATING UNIT
		Indirect heating of the unique ceramic crucible/susceptor arrangement eliminates burning metal.  Powerful, low frequency currents stir the metal to insure a homogeneous alloy and assist in removing oxides trapped in the metal.  Solid state generator provides excellent reliability and long life contrasted to short lived, expensive vacuum tubes.
	GAS SYSTEM
		Automatic gas control system assures the melt is protected at all times.  Reducing gas will remove oxides from the molten metal as it is stirred by the low frequency currents.  The gas system is not pressurized thereby eliminating the gas tight melting chamber and attendant problems.
	BLENDER
		The powerful blender uses a motor driven propeller immersed into the liquid metal that completely mixes all the components.  The speed and direction is controlled by the operator to ensure a homogenous mix.  The propeller is a high temperature ceramic that does not contaminate the alloy.  All mixing is done under a shield for operator safety.
	SHOTTING SYSTEM
		The shotting system rapidly converts the molten metal into clean, uniform shot.  The molten metal stream is safely contained within the stainless steel shot tube.   When shotting is finished, the pump drains the tube and tank.  The tank is rolled out, the tube is removed, and the shot bucket is removed.  This ensures quick and complete recovery of all shot.
	PRACTICAL, LOWER OPERATING COST
		Alloy Master® quietly heats the alloy, not the casting room!  Gone is the heat, roar and discomfort of the blast furnace.  Wire, plate and ingot molds can be filled on the adjustable mold platform.  The Alloy Master® uses standardized parts for quick replacement.  Many parts are available locally, since the machine is made in the USA with domestic parts.   All parts and supplies are available overnight from the factory.  The Alloy Master® is designed for safety.  High voltage coils are not exposed, and molten metal is kept safely away from the operator.  Electrical power components are UL recognized and it is constructed in accordance with the National Electrical Code of the USA.
		Provision for platform for wire, plate, and ingots.
