20078 SAN COLOMBANO AL LAMBRO (MI) VIA CARAVAGGIO 16 DECLARES UNDER ITS OWN RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE PRODUCT ELECTRONIC CASTING MACHINE MOD. MODULAR 6 SERIAL NO. _________ IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE MACHINE DIRECTIVE 98/37/CEE AND TO THE ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY DIRECTIVE (EMC) 89/336/CEE AND SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATION 92/31/CEE, TO THE LOW TENSION DIRECTIVE 73/23CEE AND SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATION 93/68/CEE.
WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. ATTENTION PERSONS WHO HAVE THE “PACE-MAKER” MIGHT BE AFFECTED ATTENTION UNPLUG THE MACHINE FOR ITS PERIODIC CLEANING AND USE VACUUM CLEANER OR DRY CLOTH: DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR, WATER OR CLEANSING AGENTS. MODULAR 6...
In the centrifugal casting machine mod. MODULAR 6 the frequency is 80 KHz. All metals have induced within them “eddy currents” and the metal electrical resistance to these currents provokes a temperature rise and eventual melting.

The MODULAR 6 fits a universal flask cradle i.e. with an easy movement of the lever it is possible to adjust the flask support and any sprue button of the flask will be easily centered with the crucible exit hole.
THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM OF THE ROOM WHERE THE CASTING MACHINE IS INSTALLED, MUST HAVE AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS IN FORCE. ATTENTION THE ROOM WHERE THE MACHINE IS INSTALLED MUST BE FREE FROM SPRINKLINGS OF WATER, SAND BLASTING UNITS, ACID VAPOURS AND DUST. MODULAR 6...

When using small flasks with 48-50 mm ø the small plate C is placed on the flask support to enable the sprue button of the flask to be easily centered with the crucible exit hole. MODULAR 6...

An eventual waiting time of 5 t 15 seconds will depend on alloy quality and quantity and if metal is partially recovered from previous castings. Take note of the thermal level value shown on the display A at the moment of centrifugation : it will be an indication for all subsequent castings. MODULAR 6...

CRUCIBLES ♦ Galloni experience has designed a line of graphite and ceramic crucibles to be used in the electronic centrifugal casting machine mod. MODULAR 6. Their quality is superior: – in their compatibility with the alloys on the market –...
♦ When the casting wax model is designed, take care to make the reduced sprue button B and not the large button D otherwise the latter, if recovered, will not enter into the crucible properly and it will have difficulties to reach the melt. Furthermore due to its thermal expansion, it may break the crucible. MODULAR 6...
♦ The crucible life will be longer if castings are made successively one after the other: overage life 15-20 castings. If castings are made in interrupted sequences i.e. with long interval between one and the following melting, crucible will cool down continuously and its life will be shorter: average life 8-10 castings.

♦ Heating process must take place slowly and gradully. It might be necessary with the use of a steel rod, to collect the unmolten pieces on the crucible bottom. When the metal has slowly reached the complete melt, wait 5-10 seconds and then cast. A100.481 A100.460 MODULAR 6...
