Cast is a new centrifugal
casting device designed to
make casting more efficient
and versatile. The new device
is for flame melting and can
cast silver, gold, platinum
and all other metals or alloys
that are suitable for casting
under atmospheric conditions.
Up to 250 grams of
gold can be cast in one cycle
within its compact frame,
which measures just 6.6
inches in diameter and 10
inches in height.
In contrast to conventional
centrifugal devices, the mold
of the device does not rotate
at the end of a revolving arm
– by a force called the
"broken arm principle" – but
along its own axis. The
sprueing is done radially onto
a wax disk to most effectively
fill the mold during casting,
which cuts metal waste by
about 50 percent over traditional
casting tree methods.
Available in both a desktop
and built-in version, the
three different mold sizes of
the device accommodate a
variety of casting needs and
available space.
