The Neutec™ 515 casting machine is built with incredible advances in casting technology we call Flowlogic®—an exclusive combination of innovative new technologies. Flowlogic combines several control system developments with an integrated computer-controlled dynamic pressure system to provide a consistency and flexibility to your casting processes that, until now, simply weren't possible.
The Elements of Flowlogic®:
• Pressure Differential System—maximizes pressure on the flask at the earliest possible moment as the pour begins. This allows you to further lower system temperatures to improve surface quality, reduce porosity and still achieve the best fill rate.
• Flowlogic® Type-A System—shapes the flow of molten metal, reducing turbulence and random no-fills, and speeds the fill rate at lower temperatures, reducing shrinkage porosity.
• Closed System—introduces metal to the crucible through a closed chute. The melting chamber is flooded with inert gas under constant positive pressure, stripping oxygen from the metal and forcing it up and out of the chute.
• Flask Alignment System—ensures such perfect alignment between the flask and the crucible that molten metal consistently achieves the desired "dead drop" to the bottom of your sprue.
• Improved NeuSprue®—designed with a button that dramatically reduces turbulence at the entry point, providing a smoother, faster metal flow, and a tip that further retards turbulence where the fill begins, these sprues are scientifically shaped to optimize metal solidification.
• SuperPerf™ Flask—with nearly 50% of the surface perforated, significantly improves out-gassing, measurably improving fill rate on every flask tested.
Because the pour is so dependably controlled, you can cast successfully at lower temperatures—ideal for stone-in-place casting processes. The Neutec Advanced Dynamic Computer™ (ADC) and Pulsed Power Stirring™ technologies provide the ultimate simplicity of operation—the fastest possible melting times and consistent melt-and-cast cycles for every alloy and any size load.
Larger flasks reduce metal in process by 20–25%, increase the number of components per cast, and save time on the production line with smoother surfaces and fewer defects. In production tests, the average flask-to-flask casting cycle is less than three and a half minutes—producing about 17 flasks per hour. And 100-gram pours benefit from the same precise and efficient melting program as does a full-capacity pour.
ADC adaptive programming automatically adjusts power and frequency thousands of times per second and maintains a metal profile for every metal you cast, improving the timing and precision of the profile every time you cast that metal.
The Pulsed-Power Stirring ensures homogenous melts and, with Power Stir Cast programming, keeps the molten alloy completely homogeneous right up to the pour—you never have to over-karat to get consistent values throughout the tree.
The exclusive Self-Diagnostic Susceptence Measure adjusts for crucible wear by varying power and frequency for an optimal melt every time.
Other Benefits:
• Water-Cooled Components—Internal water-cooling allows the cabinet to be completely sealed, minimizing the risk of damage caused by dust or humidity.
• User-Friendly Touch Screen Command Center—puts control at your fingertips.
• Minimized Metal-to-Investment Reaction—Lower temperatures reduce incidence of gases that can create defects in cast pieces.
THIS COMPLETE PACKAGE includes:
• The grain-making accessory—helps reduce expenses by re-graining sprues and buttons into fresh grain.
• The RC-10 recirculating water cooler efficiently circulates cooling water through the casting machine, ensuring an adequate supply of properly cooled water for the machine.
