Intellicaster.One

Safely cast high temperature metals quickly and easily.

Memco's latest centrifugal casting machine.  The Intellicaster.One casts all high temperature alloys including platinum, palladium, nickel and stainless alloys.  Special versions can even cast titanium.  Lower temperature metal alloys such as gold, silver, brass, and bronze can also be cast.

All high temperature casting requires the use of a high temperature investment that is not as porous as the standard gypsum investment.  Filling flasks with this investment is more difficult due to the fact that air and gases cannot escape quickly.  This results in air pockets producing non-fills.  The Intellicaster.One has a vacuum chamber that encloses the crucible and flask while melting and spinning.  This solves the problem of air pockets in the flask.  The metal is centrifugally cast under vacuum.  The vacuum pump is built into the machine housing.  Since this is a closed system, the metal may be melted under vacuum or a protective gas.
 

QUALITY

Improve the quality of your casts by accurately controlling variables such as
  • Temperature
  • Power
  • Spin Torque
  • Spin Speed
  • Spin Duration
Each metal has different casting characteristics.  The important parameters above are easily set for each alloy.  The optical pyrometer indicates the actual temperature and initiates the spin cycle.  All controls and displays are centrally located for the convenience of the operator.  At the end of the spin cycle, the lid is automatically released and the flask is removed.
 

OPTIONS

The Intellicaster one comes in a variety of models to complement you specific needs, based on casting specific variables such as:
  • Control Type
  • Crucible/Flask Volume
  • Power Output
  • Type of Metal to Cast
With these options, you can easily determine which machine fits your production and your budget.

The Intellicaster.One gives proven reliability through all solid state design using only heavy duty industrial components.  The induction coil is fully insulated to protect against shorts and damage to machine or operator.  A reliable, simple, long life vacuum system requires minimum maintenance. 		   Intellicaster.One swing arm & cradle assembly

A note about volumes and weights.
The volume differences between metals is due to volumetric weight.  One cubic unit of platinum
occupies the same amount of space as one cubic unit of gold, however, the weight of the platinum
cube would be almost double that of the gold cube.  This is the reason the weights between the
various metals differ.
