For both standard and perforated flasks, our benchtop caster allows you to invest your flasks under vacuum on the left side of the machine and vacuum cast on the right side.

Turn the control handle left to "Investment Table," and the powerful 3 CFM internal vacuum pump pulls air bubbles from the investment under a 9" diameter x 8-1/2" high bell jar.

Turn the handle to "Casting Chamber," and vacuum is redirected to the casting side. Casts both standard and perforated flasks which fit into the well on right side of machine so that vacuum pulls from both the walls and bottom of the flask, ensuring a complete fill and denser casting.

Two adapter plates to cast 3-1/2" and 4" dia. perforated flasks (no adapter plate needed for 5" flasks)
