Vacuum Casting Machines
Gold Star Powders has a range of casting and melting systems for both the industrial and jewellery sectors. This technology makes the production processes faster, easier and more efficient in the manufacture of cast jewellery.
Currently, there are two induction melting Vacuum Casting Machines available. The smaller model, the GS380, has been designed with the small and medium sized caster in mind, with a crucible volume of 2.25 kilos of 18-carat gold and a flask size up to 250mm tall.
The larger model, the GS595, is a fully automated casting machine, and is ideal for the high-volume casting facility. It has the ability to cast from as little as 3.4 kilos of 18-carat gold using the smallest crucible, increasing to as much as 7.5 kilos of 18-carat gold using the largest crucible.
The GS595 has the following benefits:
- 60 Casting Programs, resulting in ease of operation.
- Automatic locking system, making safety a priority when using this machine.
- Faster metal flow into the mould for the highest quality castings.
- Overpressure for optimum filigree work.
Gold Star is a brand name synonymous with quality products at competitive prices. This range of casting machines further underlines our commitment to providing the discerning caster with the best consumables and machinery to optimise efficiency and quality.
