Abstract: A centrifugal caster arrangement including: a motor driven centrifuge arm and a weight arm connected to the centrifuge arm, with both arms being rotatable about a vertical axis. A counterweight is permanently fixed to the weight arm and a casting chamber is connected to the centrifuge arm. A melting crucible is disposed in the casting chamber. A plurality of muffle sets is provided with each muffle set including an exchangeable muffle cage and an associated casting muffle inserted therein. The casting chamber is provided with a region for mounting one of the muffle sets. Each exchangeable muffle cage is matched to its associated casting muffle according to size and weight so that the total weight of each respective muffle set is such magnitude that when each respective muffle set is mounted in the casting chamber and rotated about the vertical axis the centrifuge arm is in balance with the weight arm and the permanently fixed counterweight.

Abstract: A centrifugal caster comprising a motor driven centrifuge arm connected to a weight arm, both of which are rotatable about a vertical axis. A casting chamber is connected to the centrifuge arm and has a melting crucible disposed therein, and a counterweight is fixedly attached to the weight arm. The casting chamber is provided with a region for mounting a muffle set comprising a casting muffle inserted into an exchangeable muffle cage which is associated with the casting muffle according to size and weight, whereby the total weight of the muffle set is of such magnitude that upon rotation, the centrifuge arm is in balance with the weight arm and its fixedly attached counterweight.
