    ® NAUTILUS -crucibles should be used as the mould formers by BEGO are specially designed for melt flowing from those crucibles. Do not use vent sprues that reach up to the casting funnel or to the outside of the mould. Air vents cause the compressed air to be supplied incorrectly during press process.
  • Page 24 ® ® English ⋅ Nautilus CC plus ⋅ Nautilus Bridges A casting cone can be dispensed with. Use an indirect sprue system so the melt does not flow directly into the object, but first fills the distribution channel. Reinforce distribution channel for full pon- tics (the volume of the reinforcement must correspond at least to the volume of the full pontics).

  • Page 25: Basic Principles: Crucible

    Always use mould tongs to move crucible inserts! NOTICE Recommendation: Only use BEGO crucibles (identifiable by the BEGO logo)! Crucibles of other manufacturers frequently have incorrect dimensions. This will lead to faulty casts when the crucible opens too late of if the melt flows out of the crucible too early.
