Low Temperature Casting Unit
Designed for use with  Pewter so that pupils can observe safely the physical processes of melting and pouring metals. The unique cooling system keeps the entire case cold to the touch while the internal melting pot has a clearly labelled swivel lid for observing the state of the molten metal and adding new material. It does not require an extraction system.
Requiring only a 13 amp 230V AC socket the thermostatically controlled unit is typically ready 15 minutes from switching on.
Width 242mm. Height 300mm. Depth 280mm.

Pack Size

The system is designed to use lead free metals including Pewter, which melts at approx 245°C, and also a lower melting point alloy which has a melting point of 137°C. These allow the use of moulds which have been manufactured in vulcanised rubber, MDF, soap, woods, Cuttle Fish and many other materials. Moulds can easily be made by hand or using CNC milling techniques. Alternatively, pre-made moulds can be purchased separately along with the Pewter and Lower Melting Point Alloy.
