I setup a jewelry casting studio after completing GIA’s Graduate Gemology program. I only used the casting machine 5 times before I decided to go back to school again at GIA for their Jewelry Design and Technology program and learned CAD 3D digital modeling for jewelry. I used all my time to study and practice 3D digital modeling and decided I no longer wanted to get into jewelry casting and I ended up decided to move to Hollywood to study Zbrush so I packed all my equipment up and moved from San Diego to Hollywood. I have decided to sell my casting setup to use the funds to support my ideas to get more into 3D modeling to make sculptures now instead of jewelry. The casting machine has honestly only been used 5 times. It does not have a counter but you can tell by how clean the machine is that it was barely used. The Phase technologies digital phase converter I bought to power it does though have a counter which only reads 3 hours. Most of the time the phase converter was on was just to power the Indutherm for playing around in the settings and getting to know the machine. The power from your home will go from the main box to the Phase Technologies converter to change a residential power source from single phase to 3 phase and then it goes through the transformer to transform the power to 400v to power this 400v Indutherm Casting Machine. The Extra Large water filter will make sure there are no minerals in the water as it flows through the machine keeping the water lines clean. All the other items to begin casting are included as well.

Ordering all this equipment new costs over $40,000 and I wish I was able to keep this machine and still accomplish all my other dreams but I need the money, so a great deal on this setup goes to whoever out there is ready to set up this incredibly cool casting machine in their studio.


EXPERT REVIEW ON INDUTHERMS CASTING MACHINE AND TECHNOLOGY

The Indutherm MC100V Casting Machine stands as a paragon of innovation in jewelry manufacturing technology, expertly fusing advanced metallurgical principles with groundbreaking engineering. This machine is a beacon of ingenuity in the domain of jewelry casting, featuring a suite of capabilities that render it a leader in its field. At its core, the MC100V is equipped with precision control mechanisms that ensure the ideal casting conditions. It incorporates a sophisticated microprocessor for regulating temperature with extraordinary precision, an essential factor in achieving pristine castings. This precision is indispensable for working with a broad spectrum of metals, particularly precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, where exact temperature control is critical to avert defects like porosity or thermal cracking.

A key aspect of the MC100V’s prowess is its induction melting system, which can rapidly heat metals to full silver melt temperature in about a minute. This rapid and uniform heating is vital for maintaining the integrity and homogeneity of the alloy, and the accelerated melting process also helps in reducing oxidation, ensuring the purity and quality of the final product. The MC100V is also designed for continuous run production, which, coupled with its fast heating times, allows for high-speed casting of flasks. This feature is particularly beneficial in commercial settings where time efficiency and productivity are paramount. The machine’s ability to handle a continuous production cycle without compromising on quality or performance is a testament to its superior engineering.

Further enhancing its capabilities is the vibration technology, which is instrumental in improving the quality of the cast jewelry. This technology induces vibrations during the casting process, creating a tighter, denser crystal structure in the final product. This optimized atomic arrangement in the metal enhances the durability and aesthetic appeal of the jewelry. The machine also integrates a vacuum and pressure casting system, ingeniously designed to ensure complete mold filling, especially in complex and finely detailed designs. The vacuum assists in expelling air and gases from the mold cavity, minimizing air entrapment and oxidation. Subsequently, the positive pressure ensures thorough filling of the mold with molten metal, essential for intricate and detailed designs.

Safety and ergonomics are integral to the MC100V’s design, featuring an insulated construction that minimizes heat transfer to the external environment, thereby ensuring operator safety. The user interface is intuitive, accessible for operators of diverse skill levels while offering advanced settings for experienced professionals to customize casting parameters. Moreover, this German-engineered machine is built to last, exemplifying the renowned durability and reliability of German engineering. Its longevity is a critical aspect, ensuring that it remains a valuable asset in the jewelry casting process for a prolonged period, which is a significant advantage for any jewelry manufacturing setup.

In summary, the Indutherm MC100V Casting Machine is a masterpiece of modern metallurgical engineering, embodying advancements that cater to the art and science of jewelry making. Its precision control, rapid induction heating, innovative vibration technology, capability for continuous run production, and efficient vacuum and pressure casting system make it an indispensable tool in the production of high-quality, intricate jewelry pieces. The MC100V not only simplifies the casting process but also pushes the boundaries of what is achievable in the realm of jewelry technology

I did all the research to make sure I got the exact model Phase Technologies Converter, and the right model Hammond Solutions Transformer. I worked with an electrical engineer in doing my

When researching for this project I got advice from an electrical engineer and I was able to make sure I got the exact right Phase Technologies converter and the exact right Hammond transformer, and had it all professionally installed and it worked as perfect as planned. The equipment is in Los Angeles and preferably will sell for local pickup but am open to discussing otherwise.

Thank you
