Besides the known high-speed drying technology for ceramic shells MK Technology has produced autoclaves since 2008. As proven systems can still be improved there are a number of innovations simplifying the process and ensuring a high level of reproducibility and accuracy.

1. Reduced shellcracks

• Fast filling: fully loaded in 4 seconds
• Symmetrical and aerodynamically optimized steam inlet
• Optimized pressure release: flow can be varied depending on shells’ form     and  size

2. Clean operation

• Movable wax cabinet with automatic closing roof
• Electrically heated wax pipe
• Big Bag system
• Buffer
• Automatic condense water

3. Increased lifetime of vessels and components

• Four-stage water treatment

     Outside:

• Water softening system
• Monitoring and pH-control

     Inside:

• Salt monitoring and control
• Automatic de-calcification

Optional: 24 or 72 hours operation without supervision

In practice the new technology has splendidly proven its worth and is applied by many investment casting companies.
