High-Quality Machines, High-Quality Results
The right machine for every application
Top-quality form filling using overpressure of up to 2 bars (casting under vacuum also possible). Machine can be used to cast rolling blanks for platinum processing in copper molds.
Compact Size for Compact Projects
Measuring under two feet in all dimensions and weighing just 60 lbs, this casting machine is perfect for tight spaces and an economical option for small to medium projects. An excellent solution for studios and goldsmith's workshop with limited space.
Easy, Fast, and Efficient
Equipped with a High-quality LCD display for easy programming. Quick shots by use of standard investment material in less than 4 hours, on "speed" investment material in less than 2 hours from wax piece to casting. The efficient use of consumable materials leads to cost savings over time.
Vacuum-Controlled Melting Atmosphere
>Melting under vacuum or inert gas to prevent oxidation. Thorough through-mixing of molten metals using low-frequency induction tuning. 3.5 kW induction generator for quickly reaching the melting temperature.
Versatile Uses
This machine features a precise thermocouple temperature measurement of gold & silver. Allows for small-batch Platinum casting as well as Steel.

Vibration technology for excellent casting quality
The MC machines with the “V” suffix are equipped with the Indutherm vibration system (see page 20). Vibration switched on directly after casting is a decisive factor in enhancing mould filling with very filigree parts. It prevents porosity, ensures a finer grain structure and allows greater and more constant density. Parts have measurably higher elasticity and this increases the scope for further processing significantly. Vibration technology is a compelling alternative to the frequently used and relatively delicate centrifugal systems, especially when casting platinum or palladium.
Handling the mini casting system is extremely simple:
- Fill in the material and heat up
- Define your considered process parameters e.g. atmosphere: vacuum, inert gas atmosphere, overpressure
- Take the mold from oven and insert into the machine. The device itself looks after all additional functions – until we get to the stroke of genius:
- Pouring off takes place using a 90° rotation of the casting unit. After pouring, the MC machine automatically switches to overpressure in order to optimise the mould filling even for delicate parts
