MC 60 V

Rapid and simple casting

The MC 60 V has been developed with the user in mind for whom the MC 16 is too small but a simple machine from the large VC series (e.g. the VC 400) is too big or requires too much manual operation. This small high-performance casting machine is ideal for smaller production quantities and can be used for jewellery alloys such as gold, silver, copper and bronze, as well as for alloys of brass and aluminium.

The whole process of casting can be carried out simply, quickly and safely without any real prior technical knowledge of casting. With the MC 60 V – and with all MC machines – you can easily cast by hand from the crucible to your mould and feel what you are doing – just as it has been done for thousands of years. So that this works consistently and safely, the entire melting/casting unit is tilted together through a 90° angle. For perfect balance and to make do with as few moving parts as possible, almost the whole machine moves during tilting: being cylindrical in design, the whole moving section rotates as if in a halfpipe – ingeniously simple and stylishly designed on high-quality rollers. However, unlike manual casting, the process takes place in an enclosed chamber under a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, to prevent air pockets and oxidation. You can check the melting and pouring-off process through the sight glass.

Main benefits

• Now with program control and LCD display
• Vibration system for optimized form filling
• Very simple use, short training period, very good results even by operators with less experience in casting techniques
• Excellent price-performance ratio
• 3,5 kW generator enables quick melting periods
• Thorough mixing of metal by induction generator (low frequency tuning)
• Melting under vacuum for reduced danger of oxidation
• Excellent mould filling because of inert gas / over-pressure, max. 2 bars
• Low running costs because of inexpensive consumables and the use of flasks without flange
