TC
Low-pressure casting machines with tiltable closing unit and fixed crucible style furnace
Low-Pressure Casting Machine Kurtz AL 13-13 TC
Highly flexible universal low-pressure casting machine
The machine type TC is ideally suited for the specific requirements of jobbing foundries.
The crucible style furnace allows easy reacting to different alloys. A further advantage is the compact design for installation even in smaller foundry shops with limited height. Nevertheless the machines are known for their flexibility.
