The Flamefast LT1 Low Temperature Casting System can create unique links between Design & Technology and other curriculum areas such as ICT and Art. Designed with safety in mind, it has a unique cooling system which keeps the entire case cold to touch, making this ideal for the classroom. It allows casting and moulding to be undertaken in a standard classroom environment away from traditional workshop areas.
The system is simple, easy and safe to use requiring only a standard 13A 230V socket. It does not require any extraction system. It allows pupils to observe safely the physical processes of melting and pouring metals. The LT1 is thermostatically controlled which enables lead free pewter to be held at a constant temperature not requiring any user intervention. There are no lengthy setup times. A typical total, ready-to-use time is just 15 minutes from first switching the system on. The system is designed to use lead-free metals including pewter, which melts at approximately 245°C, allowing the use of moulds which have been manufactured from vulcanised rubber, cardboard, MDF, wood and many other materials. Lead free pewter casting in a safe and simple process.
Maximum temperature 260°C, 2.3kg crucible capacity for lead free pewter. Thermostatically controlled at either 250° or 150°C.
