Additional operating elements
Crucible:
Use this rotary switch to select between standard pressure,
vacuum or over-pressure in the crucible area.
Normal No vacuum, no over-pressure in the crucible
area, only flow of protective gas (a very frequently used
casting mode!)
Pressure With this mode, the inductor housing is sealed,
which means that the pressure depends on the amount of
protection gas that is used. When less gas is used than is
exhausted under the flask, there is an under-pressure.
Vacuum In this mode, the inductor housing is directly
connected with the vacuum pump, so that the maximum
possible vacuum is created. This enables, for example, to
melt the metal under vacuum.
