The Workhorse for Your Fully Automatic Big Volume Production.
The VPC 066 is Schultheiss’ tailor-made solution for silver, gold, and palladium-white gold alloys. For many years it is known for its advanced technology and its high quality standard. The combination of three different casting technologies (vacuum , vacuum pressure, and differential pressure casting) in one machine is unique and achieves results of superior quality.
Gentle Material Processing at First Class Quality.
Melting and casting of the alloys are made very gentle on the material due to the ideally tuned induction heating. By creating different vacuum zones inside the machine, the liquid material can be casted very rapidly into the flask. This allows casting the most filigree and heavy items with ease. Additionally, the unit has an integrated and patented vibration technique that vibrates during the casting and thus improves the structure of the surface. Due to a fully automatic process, reproducibility of filigree jewelry pieces is guaranteed even with a high number of pieces.
Convenient Operation.
Schultheiss’ VPC 066 is a computer-controlled, program-based machine with a connected touch display. It enables activating the casting process via the push of a button. During the whole casting process, a screen visualizes every single step of the automatic process for supervising. It allows program exchange and synchronization with multiple units, operator assistance, service, maintenance operation, and program update by remote maintenance.
One Machine for More Flexibility.
A large variety of optional features are available, to configure the perfectly suited unit for you. The flask chamber allows the user of the machine to use different flask dimensions with the same machine. The VPC 066 offers more efficiency than other casting units because less gold is lost in the casting process, leading to cost savings.
