1. Overview of Equipment and Application Fields

The Vacuum Smelting Furnace (Custom Double Copper Mold Model) is a high-end customized smelting equipment designed for high-efficiency experiments and diverse sample preparation. This innovative device overcomes the limitations of traditional single-mold furnaces by integrating dual independent copper mold casting systems. Through induction melting in a high-vacuum environment, users can flexibly distribute molten metal to two independent casting stations, enabling simultaneous dual-specification molding, comparative testing of different processes, or continuous rapid sample preparation. This significantly enhances experimental efficiency and material R&D flexibility.

This equipment is particularly suited for scenarios with diverse requirements in the preparation of precious metals (gold, silver), non-ferrous metals (copper), and special alloys. Whether it's preparing standard samples of different sizes simultaneously or experimenting with two different cooling rates or mold materials in a single melting process, the dual-copper mold design can perfectly handle these tasks. Equipped with an advanced PLC control system, the device features intuitive operation and allows for deep customization of capacity, vacuum level, heating power, and mold specifications according to user needs. It is an ideal choice for research institutes, university laboratories, jewelry R&D centers, and new material enterprises.

Widespread application areas:

· Research institutes and university laboratories: For the screening of new alloy formulations, comparative studies on the effects of different solidification conditions on microstructure properties, and rapid preparation of multi-specification standard samples.

· Jewelry and gemstone R&D: Simultaneously smelt and cast prototype jewelry pieces of various styles or weights to accelerate the new product development process; or conduct comparative purification experiments between recycled materials and new materials.

2. Core Functional Highlights

Double Copper Mold Independent Casting System-Efficiency Doubling

o Dual-station design: The equipment is equipped with two independent copper casting molds, which can be controlled separately or synchronized.

o Flexible casting mode:

§ Simultaneous casting: The melt is evenly or proportionally distributed into two molds, yielding two samples in a single melting process, doubling the efficiency.

§ Independent casting: First cast one sample, then cast a second sample after adjusting parameters or changing the receiving container, achieving "multiple samples in one furnace".

§ Comparative experiment: Different cooling conditions (such as different wall thicknesses, different material inserts) can be set in two molds to study the influence of process variables on the microstructure of the material.

o Rapid mold replacement: The copper mold features a well-designed structure for easy disassembly and replacement, allowing users to customize molds of various shapes and sizes according to experimental needs.

High Vacuum Induction Smelting-Pure and Dense

o The whole process of melting is carried out under high vacuum condition, which effectively isolates the air and prevents the oxidation and burn of metal. It is especially suitable for the preparation of alloy of elements which are easy to oxidize.

o High-density finished product: The vacuum environment effectively removes gases from the melt, reduces porosity, and significantly improves the density and compactness of the castings.

o High heating efficiency: The induction heating method enables rapid temperature rise, precise temperature control, high thermal efficiency, and low energy consumption.

Highly Customized Services-Build on Demand

o Capacity customization: The melting capacity can be customized according to user requirements, ranging from a few grams to dozens of kilograms.

o Customizable features: Optional configurations include mechanical stirring, electromagnetic stirring, secondary feeding hopper, and special atmosphere protection.

o Custom mold design: The shape, dimensions, quantity, and cooling method of copper molds can be customized to meet the molding requirements of special samples.

o System configuration: The type of vacuum pump (mechanical pump, diffusion pump, molecular pump), control system brand, and interface functions can all be flexibly selected.

Intelligent PLC Control-Simple and Precise

o Automation operation: Equipped with an industrial-grade PLC control system and integrated touchscreen human-machine interface. Users can preset parameters such as melting temperature, vacuum level, pouring angle, and casting time to achieve one-touch automatic operation.

o Process monitoring: Real-time display and recording of critical data including smelting curve and vacuum level changes, with data export and analysis capabilities.

o Easy to use: The intuitive interface with clear logic allows even non-professionals to get started quickly.

multiple security protection system

o Comprehensive protection: Featuring multiple safety mechanisms including hydraulic pressure protection, overheat protection, overcurrent protection, vacuum interlock, access control safety switches, and emergency stop buttons.

o Safety and reliability: Any abnormal conditions (e.g., water leakage, overheating, vacuum leakage) will trigger an automatic shutdown alarm to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

4. Detailed Explanation of Typical Application Scenarios

Scientific research experiments and comparative studies:

o Process parameter comparison: In one melting process, the same alloy liquid is injected into two copper molds with different cooling rates to rapidly study the effects of cooling rate on grain size and phase composition, without repeated melting, saving time and raw materials.

o Multi-component screening: By secondary feeding (if optional) or stepwise pouring, alloy samples with fine-tuned compositions are prepared in two molds, accelerating the screening process of new alloy formulations.

Jewelry Development and Production:

o Multi-pattern prototyping: Designers can simultaneously melt a batch of gold and pour it into separate molds for rings and pendants, enabling the casting of multiple prototypes in a single operation. This significantly reduces the new product development cycle.

o Simultaneous casting of large and small pieces: By leveraging the capacity difference between two molds, a heavy gold bar and a lightweight jewelry piece are cast simultaneously, maximizing smelting efficiency.

Pilot-scale Testing and Quality Control of New Materials

o Parallel sample preparation: The quality control department requires three parallel samples for testing. Using a dual-mode furnace, two samples can be cast initially, and the remaining material can be rapidly remelted to cast the third sample. This method improves efficiency by over 50% compared to a single-mode furnace while ensuring consistency in sample sources.

o Special-shaped prototype fabrication: Custom-made copper molds (e.g., sheet or rod forms) to meet the geometric requirements specified by testing standards.
