    CLEANFLOW kit for better casting

    Written by laura on . Posted in LandingPages.


    The creation of CLEANFLOW

    SAVE WITH CLEANFLOW

    “Through the chimney effect, CLEANFLOW allows an easier and natural flow from the top of the slags and combustion gas caused by wax pouring, resin burning or use of similar materials for the creation of the tree”

    {product 4100|cart|link}

    Traditional casting issues

    The quality of traditional casting and proto-casting is one of the most common topics in the jewelry sector.

    In lost wax casting it’s hard to maintain a constant quality of the product.

    In casting with systems printed with 3D technology resin, on the other hand, a discrepancy can be noticed among the types of resins with different melting points and different geometries.

    CLEANFLOW goal is to stabilize and significantly improve these and other aspects.

    CLEANFLOW, the idea

    CLEANFLOW is a kit created to support the preparation process of casting cylinders. It’s been developed to improve the flow and the burning phase of the tree material during the burnout cycle.

    The principle on which it is based reduces considerably the problems due to slags inside the cylinder and combustion gas bubbles that struggle to exit with the traditional system.

    SAVE WITH CLEANFLOW

    CLEANFLOW KIT

    The kit contains all the necessary elements for preparation of 20 cylinders of ø 100 mm

    Kit contents

    • Perforated lid for the centering of the sprue and creation of a second hole in the investment cover

    • Heat-resistant conic-shaped cap and C-Clip to seal the second hole at the bottom of the cylinder during metal pouring phase

    • Steel base to support the heat-resistant cone for the correct positioning at the bottom of the cylinders

    • Seal to cover the upper part of the cone for greater resistance

    Buy the kit

    {product 4100|pricedis3}

    {product 4100|cart|link}

    • 20 lids

    • 2 steel disks

    • 2 graphite caps

    • 2 C-clips fasteners

    • 10 rubber seals

    • Recyclable packaging

    OPERATION

    STEP 1

    Assembling the cylinder

    The lid creates the marks on one face of the investment to open the chimney and to make clear which part of the cylinder goes on the bottom in the casting machine

    STEP 2

    Annealing

    During annealing, thanks to the chimney effect, CLEANFLOW facilitates the flow of gas and waste generated by combustion of resin and wax

    CASTING WITH

    TRADITIONAL CASTING

    STEP 3

    Burnout

    During annealing, thanks to the natural flow of hot air inside the cylinder, CLEANFLOW reduces burnout time up to 50%

    CASTING WITH

    TRADITIONAL CASTING

    STEP 4

    Injection

    Before insertion of the cylinder in the casting furnace, a metal base with a graphite cone will be positioned which will close the lower part of the cylinder.

    Very important:
    the weight of the cylinder, concentrated on the cone only, ensures airtight lock.

    It’s normal to have a space between the cylinder and the steel base.

    ADVANTAGES

    • Increased casting quality

      Efficient resin combustion resulting in increase of casting qualities thanks to major reduction of waste residue

    • Additional savings

      Possible reduction of diameter and capacity of the central sprue that is part of the tree

      • Saving of metal quantity necessary for casting
      • Additional saving during refining of waste

    • Easy flow

      Easy flow of the combustion gas for improvement of casting quality

    • Typical workflow maintained

      Use of CLEANFLOW doesn’t require any substantial change from traditional casting techniques.

    • Reduction of burnout cycle

      The burnout cycle is reduced due to heat flowing through the vacuum created by the cylinder – which has holes at both top and bottom. This chimney-effect creates a much faster, more efficient burnout. 

      • 25% to 50% reduction of cylinder burn-out time
      • Substantial energy saving, proportioned to the reduction of burn-out time
      • Reduction of investment volume

    Awions air purifiers

    Written by laura on . Posted in LandingPages.

    AIR PURIFICATION
    AND ANTIVIRAL POWER

    with bipolar ions technology

    Awions devices purify the air while people are present in the environment. The air purification systems generate positively and negatively charged ions that restore the quality and freshness of the indoor air, just like the sun does in nature, making it as healthy and clean as the air we breathe when hiking in the mountains or strolling by the seaside: pure air, free of mold, bacteria and viruses.

    • ANTIVIRAL POWER

      The positively and negatively charged ions emitted by the generators surround the virus and react chemically with the molecules that compose its surface, damaging the virus proteic barrier and disgregating its “spikes”, rendering the infection of cells impossible even if inhaled.
      Effective against Covid-19!

    • COLD PLASMA TECHNOLOGY

      The Awions ion generator uses cold plasma technology, producing positively charged hydrogen ions from water molecules floating in the air and negatively charged oxygen ions from atmospheric oxygen.
      As a result, various types of superoxide ions are formed. These trigger chemical reactions similar to those that occur naturally in the environment, thus purifying the indoor air in the premises where we live and work.
