Operating instructions Heracast EC Set-up Location: Table with load bearing capacity of at least 70 kg. Table area (w x d): 650 x 550 mm. The casting machine must be placed on a solid, skid-proof surface (laboratory desks, racks) so that a horizontal safe position is ensured.
Vacuum air connection CAUTION Prior to operating, check whether the nominal voltage corresponds to the value indicated on the type plate of the vacuum pump. Attach the hose of the vacuum pump to the connection of the casting machine. Connect vacuum pump to the socket (rear of the unit).
Operating instructions Heracast EC Putting out of operation Remove crucible and casting ring from the chamber. Let the unit cool down for approx. 3 minutes before switching it off. Switch off the unit; unplug the unit if it is not to be operated for longer periods.

If the lock cannot be opened during the first cycle (8 seconds), the procedure can be repeated as often as desired. Please inform your responsible regional Heraeus Kulzer service partner if the chamber locking mechanism does not unlock after repeated attempts.
In this menu additional options are available. Controls for operating The Heracast EC is operated using two buttons and a turning knob with noticeable pressure point. The functions of the buttons vary depending on the active menu and device status.
Operating instructions Heracast EC Casting Menu The main menu includes the following options, which you can select using the turning knob: Ceramic crucible with graphite insert (for gold casting or high-gold content ceramic bonding alloy). Ceramic crucible (for Pd-based alloys or gold Pd alloys).
The technical procedure is described in the following. For alloy-specific application information, see paragraph 10 Alloys. General NOTE Please request information brochures on casting according to the Heraeus system. Suitable investment materials NOTE No graphite-containing investment materials must be used. The graphite content can result in degassing or in damage to the alloy.
Operating instructions Heracast EC Casting After premelting, the casting ring is rapidly placed in the casting chamber and locked in place (ideally approx. 20 – 40 seconds); the chamber is closed and the melting process is started by pressing the key “START”.
10.4 Titanium and aluminium-containing alloys Generally, it is possible to cast such alloys in the Heracast EC. The alloy components titanium and aluminium exhibit a strong tendency towards oxidation on the surface during the melting process which is intensified through the oxygen supply when inserting the ring. The oxide layer may impede or even prevent the alloy from flowing out of crucible.
Heraeus Kulzer GmbH will not accept any liability for damage – in particular personal injury – resulting from improper maintenance or repair work which has not been performed by Heraeus service agents or adequately trained personnel or if no original spare parts or accessory parts have been used during the exchange of parts.
The unit is designed to be operated for 10 years. For the disposal of spare parts or of the unit in Germany, please contact Heraeus Kulzer GmbH in Hanau, Service department, directly. For all other countries, please contact your appropriate local representation.
