7.2. Cleaning the machine
Wipe over the machine every now and then with a damp cloth. Do not use any strong detergents or tools for
cleaning. Remove any casting residues or deposits from the casting arm immediately after casting and check for
good mobility. Regularly remove deposits from the casting chamber. Always ensure meticulously that no metal
pieces land in the coil rails.
7.3. Handling the melting crucible
In order to achieve excellent casting results, please observe the following points:
• Store the crucible (REF 090-611-00) in a dry and dust-free environment where it cannot be knocked.
• Check the crucible after every casting for possible damage or wear. Crucibles which are cracked or damaged may
no longer be used.
• Carefully remove residues from the crucible. Remove large pieces of residue using tweezers and then blow clean
with compressed air.
• Mark each crucible on the outside using a graphite pencil in order to indicate which alloy has been melted
inside.
i
Note Use one crucible for each different alloy.
• It is the crucible material characteristics which forces the ceramic industry to work with large discrepancies. For
this reason it may occur that the crucible gets stuck in the clamp. It is possible to make it fit by filing the crucible.
Due to the delivery conditions of the ceramic industry it is not possible to determine an average lifespan or
guarantee against damages to the ceramic crucibles during transport.
The following crucibles are suitable for the induction casting machine megapuls compact:
Ceramic crucible 10 pieces REF 090-611-00
Graphite insert 10 pieces REF 090-615-00
