Kerr Centrifico
Casting Machine
KerrLab Centrifico
Casting Machines permit a controlled centrifugal force, which produces
the soundest castings. Actuated by an oversize steel spring, these
machines utilize a secondary arm pivoted to the main arm. The secondary
arm carries the flask, keeping it in line with the centrifugal force, when
the arm revolves. As a result, the cast metal travels in a straight
line, directly into the mold, producing strong, dense castings.
The KerrLab Centrifico
Casting Machine is made to give long-term, trouble-free performance.
The casting arm is an aluminum bronze casting, which is then machined,
nickel plated and polished. The base and cover are made from heavy,
precision die castings and then given a baked finish.

Melting Furnaces
KerrLab ElectroMelt
Furnaces
KerrLab Electro-Melts
are a line of compact electric furnaces for melting metals. They
are designed to be handheld for easy pouring of the metal directly from
the furnace. This makes them ideal for use in casting, reclaiming,
alloying and refining metals.
All Electro-Melt
furnaces are supplied with a graphite stirring rod and a graphite crucible
which provides a reducing atmosphere during melting. They are equipped
with such features as: a safety switch which deactivates power to the furnace
when the lid is opened; extended life element and built-in pyrometer.
The graphite crucibles have a melting capacity of 30 troy ounces of gold
for the Standard model and 100 troy ounces of gold for the Maxi model.
KerrLab Manual

Paragon Kilns
The digital SC-series
kilns fire silver clay, decals, china paint, enameling and glass in minutes
up to 2000°F. The SC-series door opens 180 degrees for easy loading.
They are surprisingly affordable for digital kilns. They fire automatically
at the rate and temperature you enter. A large brightly lit display
prompts for firing rate, temperature and hold time. Use the hold
feature to automatically soak any type of clay silver or gold to its recommended
time.
The high-tech energy
efficient ceramic fiber firing chamber is wrapped in a steel inner case.
The outer steel case remains cool due to the layer of air between it and
the inner case. In addition, the case is slotted for air circulation.
Electrical components, located in the base, stay cool for long life even
at extended hold times. This is one reason the SC-series kilns are
so trouble free. The long life of a Paragon SC-series kiln is legendary.
The fast firing
element is embedded in the firing chamber shell. The SC-2 and SC-3
heat from the two sides and back. Both kilns include a top vent for
lost wax casting, complete with a tapered plug. Each SC-series kiln
includes a 1/4" thick ceramic fiber shelf.
