Platinum Casting

Features

• ■All kinds of metals (*1) can be cast by simply replacing a crucible (no need to replace a heating coil)
• ■Static casting is possible because of pressure casting.
• ■Especially in platinum casting, originally developed wax tree system can realizes casting with less quantity button.
• ■Fewer porosities is being expected with patented mold-rotation mechanism.
• ■Easy-to-use analog casting machine that can be flexibly operated according to the situation and difference of alloys.
• ■Radiation thermometer (pyrometer) (*2) can be added as an option.

• ★1 Not all metals can be used.
• ★2 Some models are equipped with a radiation thermometer as standard equipment.

Mold Rotation Mechanism

The YGP series casting machines are expected to produce castings with less porosities by means of the patented Mold-rotation mechanism.
The principle of this mechanism is that with rotating a mold at low speed, an air vortex is created in the mold by the rotation, which secures an entry path of little resistance to the molten metal to be cast and an exit path for gas existing a casting mold, thus enabling smooth substitution.
This is the same principle as when a bottle filled with water is turned upside down and drained, creating a vortex in the water inside the bottle allows the water to drain in a short time.

What Is Static Casting?

Static casting is the theory that in casting, molten metal should be cast over the shortest possible distance and as quietly as possible in order to reduce turbulence.
Pressure casting is one of the best casting methods that most closely follows the static casting theory.

Especially in platinum casting, the turbulent flow of molten metal during casting can be suppressed compared to centrifugal casting, and since its launch, it has been delivered to many customers not only in Japan but also among the world.
Overseas, platinum pressure casting has become synonymous with high quality casting.
