Gating – AQUAFLAME®

Aquaflame® machines are ideal for use in investment casting wax rooms for several jointing and cleaning-up operations. The use of a hydrogen torch allows a cleaner wax assembly, leading to a reduction of inclusions in cast parts.

The Aquaflame® system can perform the following tasks:

• Jointing small to medium-sized parts
• Creates smooth radial joints that promote a smooth flow of metal during casting
• Clean up of wax assembly after jointing to fill in holes, undercuts, and smooth out rough areas.
• Eliminate or smooth out mould lines
• Ideal for use with sticky wax where undercuts may remain.
• Easy to access intricate parts of the runner system without damaging wax patterns

Advantages of the use of a flame to joint or clean up wax assemblies.

• Generates little smoke: it melts the wax rather than burns it, thus creating an improved wax room environment.
• Precise and controllable: quicker, easier, and more effective than a “hot knife” or “hot spatula”
• Different tips are available to make the flame smaller or larger depending on the task in hand.
• Extended nozzles available to allow access into more intricate or delicate areas.
• Available as 1 or 2 user stations machine
