This modern vertical continuous casting machine for precious/non-precious metal offers excellent casting results for almost every productions capacity. Advanced Vacuum-Overpressure Appliance enables also excellent results on difficult-to-cast metals as manganese content alloys, zinc content alloys etc. The VCC 400 is designed to be robust and easy to use. All relevant parts are water cooled by insert steel pipes. These machines are designed for continuous operation.
