Abstract: A heating or preheating furnace for lining cylinders made of refractory material, where those cylinders are particularly designed to act as molds for the lost wax casting of precious metals, semiprecious metals, base metals or titanium or alloys thereof in order to obtain small items, dental prostheses, jewelry and costume jewelry items in general by precision casting. The furnace includes a bed, a hearth portion or base supporting the bed, an upper dome-shaped portion arranged to rest on the hearth portion to delimit a heating or firing chamber therewith, first driving means suitable for producing a relative motion between the dome-shaped portion and the hearth portion between a closed position, in which the dome-shaped portion rests on the hearth portion, and an open position, in which the dome-shaped portion is raised above the hearth portion, heating means carried by the dome-shaped portion, and a program control unit.
Abstract: The casting apparatus has a case defining a casting chamber having an open front provided with a door, and a crucible locatable in the chamber for containing metal loads to be cast. An electrode extends through a wall of the chamber and is connectable to a power source for the formation of an electric arc between the electrode and the load in the crucible. A coupling connects the inside of the chamber to a source of pressurized inert gas or to a vacuum pump. A tubular element for containing a mold is removably accommodatable in the chamber at an opening, which is connected to the atmosphere by a vent valve. A fluid-activated jack is provided for tilting the case for pouring molten metal, from the crucible to the mold contained in the tubular element.
Abstract: The firing and/or casting kiln has a containment casing which internally forms a treatment chamber, a part holder which is movably mounted inside the treatment chamber, an opening for access to the treatment chamber, and a conditioning system for producing a vacuum and introducing inert gas into the treatment chamber.
