A shop that casts hundreds of flasks a week to rigorous quality standards can reduce its reject rate by 80% with Neutec machines. No matter what size operation you run or how many flasks you cast, you can reduce your reject rate, boost productivity and realize immediate profits with a Neutec casting machine working for you.

All Neutec casting machines share the same dual-chamber design - whether it's the reliable resistance-heated Neutec J-2R IV or one of the  exceptional J-z, J-5, J-10b or J-15 induction machines. 

In an induction machine (all models except Model J-2R IV) , a coil also surrounds the crucible; however, the heating power applied by this coil is high-frequency energy. High-frequency energy radiates from the coil and, because the graphite crucible readily absorbs energy of this frequency (its molecules are excited by just the right frequency), it gets hot and melts the metal. The coil itself remains relatively cool.

A resistance-heated machine takes about four to six times longer to melt metal than an induction machine, but a resistance machine costs less because it is much less expensive to build. The J-2R provides the same effective dual-chamber design at a price affordable for a one-man shop. 

An 18-turn induction coil delivers more power to the crucible. More power means faster melting and better stirring for complete alloy homogeneity. Karat values stay the same from the top of the tree to the bottom.

Induction casting cycles are a fast three to five minutes, yielding 15 to 25 cast flasks per hour - an output of more than 320 kilos of 14K gold per day. 

The graphite crucible scavenges oxygen dissolved in the metal and converts copper oxides back to pure copper. This virtually eliminates porosity and imperfections due to oxides. It all adds up to a dramatic savings in labour and materials from a reduced number of rejects, especially those that turn up late in the finishing process. 

Neutec Advanced Dynamic Computer™ adaptive programming in the induction machines melts metal quickly and consistently from one cast to the next regardless of the size of the load. Consistency means you can optimize quality by fine-tuning casting parameters for each particular design or alloy.

Bottom-pour crucible design and an optional pressure system in the induction machines get metal into the flask quickly for a more complete fill and better surfaces. The better the rough-cast quality, the shorter your finishing times will be. 

The Neutec NeuSprue™ sprue and base system helps the metal into the flask more quickly and with very tittle turbulence. This produces better fill and reduces the chance of investment inclusions. A lowered reject rate lets you put your resources where they deliver the most return. 

• Best-available component design and long-lasting Neutec-made consumables work together to contribute to a highly dependable, low-cost operation.
• Neutec machines are designed to take the guesswork out of casting. Our smart induction machines can tell the density and the quantity of metal you've put in its crucible. If it hasn't melted that alloy before, it will build a profile and refine it each time you cast that metal. 
• Neutec's J-2R resistance-heated machine offers many of the advantages of the induction-heated machines discussed above. Its cost is lower and it takes a little longer to melt the metal, but you'll get the same consistently high-quality castings.
