grain


The Neutec GrainPro™ is an induction-heated machine that uses state-of-the-art technology to produce casting grain for investment casters, alloy-makers and continuous casters. With this machine, you need not plan your schedule around dividing the work time of your casting machine into casting time and grain-making time. You can continue casting operations while using the grain-making capabilities of the GrainPro to produce the grain you need. Whether you are manufacturing tubing or sheet or jewelry pieces, the GrainPro lets you grain what you need—as you need it—while manufacturing operations continue smoothly and efficiently.

Neutec/USA® GrainPro™: An Essential Tool
The GrainPro™ produced perfect grain—either in batch mode (for alloying) or in continuous mode (for recycling scrap or sprues). The GrainPro streamlines fabrication or manufacturing processes like never before by creating consistent, high-quality grain quickly. It is the ideal tool for:
• investment casters
• continuous casters who require homogeneous alloyed metal for their casting crucibles.
• alloy makers who create alloys in wholesale batches.

Fast Graining Rates and Quick Change-Over
The GrainPro™ is extremely productive, re-graining sterling silver at up to .75kg per minute (45kg per hour), and gold alloys take even less time! When used for making alloys, the GrainPro can be changed from one alloy to another in minutes with no danger of one alloy contaminating another.

GrainPro™ Chiller Accessory
Because water temperature is essential to making high-quality grain, Neutec offers a recirculating refrigeration unit that provides chilled water to the grain-making tank during operation. The Chiller is ideal for facilities where the water supply is not cool enough for alloying and/or grain-making, or in areas where water conservation goals require water to be recirculated and re-used.

Pulsed Power Stirring™ technology ensures homogeneity.
Patented AutoValve™ crucible provides continuous operation.
New “empty crucible” technology ensures complete recovery of metal at the last pour.
New and improved grain-making tank allows rapid alloy changeovers.
Closed-system with nitrogen or argon gas provides an inert atmosphere.
Neutec/USA® single-billet graphite crucibles scavenge oxygen dissolved in the metal to prevent oxidation defects.
An 18-turn induction coil provides superior stirring capabilities and is encased in a ceramic  potting that makes the coil extremely reliable and helps to protect against electrical  shock.
