The Neutec J-zP induction casting machines deliver a cost-effective, high-performance casting system—no other machine in this price range comes close for rugged durability, low operating cost and top-quality castings. A benchtop induction caster with many of the features found in our larger models, the J-zP models are designed for small- to medium-sized shops and offer features usually found only in larger, far more costly casting machines.

The J-zP casting machines are ideal casting machines for most shops and offer all the engineering, technology and benefits listed below. A wide range of accessories are available to help customize your machine to your needs.

The J-zP™ model adds the advantage of Neutec’s Dynamic Pressure System™, a system that applies a positive pressure that works with the vacuum draw to significantly increase fill-rates and reduce defects—especially in small details such as prongs and the lettering on class rings.

The J-zP™ Autocast, in addition to DPS™, provides the convenience and accuracy of automation to your cast. When the metal reaches set-point, the J-zP Autocast automatically triggers the pressure and the pour—without operator intervention—at the optimal moment to ensure the best possible quality in your castings.

Call us today, we’ll help you create a system for your needs so that you can raise the capabilities of your casting operation.

Increased Fill Rate—Even For Fine Details
A built-in Busch 15cfm vacuum pump helps ensure the best possible fill rates for all your castings—see fewer rejects and easier finishing.

Fast Cycle Times
Casting cycles average about four minutes, or 15 flasks per hour. Dynamic Variable Compensation™ (in the J-zP models) and the Advanced Dynamic Computer™ (ADC) automatically produce the fastest, most efficient melting program for any alloy and any size load—time after time.

Low Reject Rates
Porosity and other defects caused by oxidation are virtually eliminated by a closed-system nitrogen-gas atmosphere and a
graphite crucible that absorbs oxygen dissolved in the metal.

Superior Stirring
With 18 turns on its induction coil, the J-z casting machines heats more quickly with a superior stirring capability that keeps the melt homogeneous up to the moment of the pour.

Large Flask Capacity When You Need It
The J-z casting machines accept flasks up to 5" x 9". Take advantage of more opportunities—even cast small sculptures. This machine will also cast to a 3" diameter flask for smaller runs.

Extra-Roomy Crucible
A 184cc graphite crucible, surprisingly large for a machine in this class, batch-alloys up to 2.7kg of 18K or casts up to 1.6kg at a time.

Make Your Own Grain—To Your Specifications
The grain-making tank (included) lets you mix the karat and color grain you need, when you need it. —And you can recycle your own scrap into clean, quality grain. The grain you produce is perfectly sized to deliver more metal capacity and faster melting times, too. Save time and money.

Perfectly Optimized Operating Temperature
The water cooler stand houses a closed, self-contained cooling system that keeps the machine at optimum operating temperature all day.

Research shows that casting quality improves when you start with 100% casting grain. The ability to recycle sprues and convert them into casting grain saves you money and improves the quality of your castings. And because grain-making is so vital to successful casting, Neutec includes the grain making accessory with your J-zP™ casting machine.

All induction casting machines need cooling water. With the J-zP™ Autocast, you can purchase a closed-loop cooling system that contains and re-uses the cooling water. This cooling system is built into a stand designed to match the floor dimensions of the J-z. Your machine sits directly on top of the cooler, saving space and raising the machine conveniently to eye level.

If you like the idea of a stand to raise your machine to a convenient height but do not need the self-contained cooling system, no problem. The stand is also available without the cooling system, giving you extra storage space inside instead.


Auto Valve Crucible

The patented design of the auto valve crucible speeds reprocessing of sprues and buttons. Use with patented AutoValve™ disc inserts.


NeuSprue

NeuSprue™ wax sprues eliminate many of the defects common with old-style sprues. A specifically designed tip and smooth tapered shaft, along with the built-in button produce a superior metal flow by reducing the turbulence during the pour. Use with the NeuSprue base assembly and acheive improved pattern fill, lower reject rates and no more floating trees.


Flask Tongs

These flask tongs are specially designed to handle flasks from the oven to the casting machine. They even allow you to turn flasks over without setting them down. The precise fit helps prevent investment fractures due to excessive tong pressure. The ergonomic design requires pressure to open tongs; no force is required to keep the tongs securely closed around the flask. For use with any casting system. Available for 3", 3-1/2", 4", 5" and 6" flask diameters.


Crucible Cooling Jar

Allow hot crucibles to cool completely without slowing down your casting operation, risking oxidation deterioration or compromising safety. Use this jar with the Neutec/USA® crucible removal tongs.


Crucible Removal Tongs

Reverse-action, inside-grip Neutec/USA® tongs securely grip hot crucibles, allowing safe transfers to the Neutec/USA cooling jar.
