High casting quality
Helios ensures perfectly smooth, porosity-free castings with exceptional alloy homogeneity, thanks to its inline casting system that enables the rapid transfer of molten metal, minimizing temperature loss.
Ease of use
The 10ˮ capacitive touch screen provides real-time monitoring of all casting parameters. Helios features preset programs for gold, silver, and non-precious alloys, plus 50 customizable profiles for quick and intuitive management of every casting cycle.
Production efficiency
The automatic flask locking and tilting system reduces setup times and ensures maximum process repeatability. The patented design guarantees complete flask filling without the use of seals or stoppers, reducing operational costs and simplifying maintenance.
Patented casting technology
With its patented linear casting system, Helios features a horizontal crucible that aligns perfectly with the flask, enabling direct, swift pouring. This design minimizes temperature drops and vortices, improving the quality of your castings. Automatic vacuum and overpressure functions ensure complete filling of the flask, producing smooth, compact surfaces.
Intuitive interface
The 10" capacitive display allows real-time monitoring of casting parameters, making process management fast and straightforward.
Customizabile programs
Preset programs for gold, silver, and other alloys, with the possibility to create up to 50 custom programs. to adjust parameters such as temperature, duration, and cooling speed based on specific casting needs.
Connectivity and industry 4.0 integration
Equipped with Ethernet connectivity for remote monitoring and support, Helios complies with Industry 4.0 standards, allowing seamless integration into interconnected production systems while ensuring high performance and maximum efficiency.
Versatile Design and Functionality for Every Need
The Helios casting machine is available in both benchtop and integrated support base version, to accommodate the external chiller and vacuum pump. Both configurations include a practical drawer with a refractory stone, ideal for storing crucibles, tongs, and other essential tools, ensuring an organized workspace and optimizing efficiency during the casting process.
