COMPACT-VEST is the Pressure Chamber for casting plasters and investments that eliminates completely air bubbles present in the powder and liquid mixture of the plaster. This is due to the action of compressed air, which acts only on the air bubbles in the mixture, making them implode and disappear from plaster or investment masses.

Benefits of Compact-Vest technology

• Greater homogeneity of the mixture, thus more precise and better-defined castings.
• Absolute absence of damage of the structures in wax or plastic inside cylinders.
• Streamlining of production processes, increase the quality standard of your castings.

It is easy to use Compact-Vest

• Mix properly your material (by hand or with a mixer) in accordance with the directions and pour it into the cylinder containing the wax model or plastic to be produced. At this point, in order to get a more homogeneous filling, we recommend that you pour it only into one corner of the cylinder. We also recommend putting a round of duct tape on the upper end of the cylinder, so that the same remain raised: the possible descent of the plaster will be well compensated without leaving the discovered items.

• Close the hermetically sealed lid.
• Pressurize the chamber at about 5 bars.
• Shutoff the air intake.
• The compression takes about 30/45 minutes: this is the time required to complete the hydraulic system process.
• Open the air release valve.
• Wait for the air pressure release and open the sealed lid.
• Remove the cylinder from the Compact-Vest.
• Proceed to the next steps of the processing.

Giotto 200 is the specific pre-heating furnace for casting rings, fully electronic with BES (Balanced Energy Saving) heating.

The exclusive wax and smoke elimination system

With Giotto 200, you can use casting rings still containing wax. A specific program can eliminate it. The reusable wax is deposited in a container below the furnace while the generated vapours from the casting rings investments and wax residues are conveyed in a special catalytic converter that by an instant oxidation process at a high temperature destroys them. As a result, contamination can be broken down and reduced; at the same time, unpleasant odours are significantly diminished.

A cutting-edge tool

Giotto 200 is designed and built according to the most modern operational ergonomic criteria and modularity and is compliant with the ISO 9000 standard on total quality.

Giotto 200 technology advantages

• It is a preheating furnace with automatic detection of the required energy for heating the casting rings
• thermodynamic solutions of the latest design for substantial heating rates
• heating rate with reduced energy consumption
• programmed heating temperatures by an electronic microprocessor that ensures the highest accuracy over the entire temperature range
• at any time it is possible to make calibration and adjustment by an electronic program
• use of effective super insulatingagainst any thermal energy leakage
• It is possible to use the furnace for large quantities of casting rings: No. 20 ø48 or 3x; No. 14 ø60 or 6x; No. 8 ø73 or 7x; No. 6 O89 or 9x; No. 60 Ø33 or 1x.

Giotto 200’s circular chamber properties

• circular radiating wallwith infrared heating
• uniform irradiation of the casting rings
• vertical opening, for operator safety: it anticipates the safety regulations by eliminating the risk of heat-blast and burns, simplifying the cast rings extraction

Giotto 100 preheating furnace, as Giotto LCD, has fully programmable casting programs for casting cylinders. Giotto 100 E has 15 programs and each program has 22 steps and their pauses. It is possible to program many heating rates for each casting cycle.

At the instantaneous work step is possible to monitor the running cycle in order to control the progress. You can select an option and display the previously set parameters. It is not possible to apply changes once a cycle has been activated. Unlike with the Giotto LCD, the mains voltage is never indicated, if it goes down the cycles will suffer significant delays but the anomaly will not be signaled as in Giotto LCD. Anyway, the temperatures are verified and maintained with the maximum precision.

Great operational advantage

Cylinders are directly and evenly irradiated thanks to the circular infrared thermal chamber. Cylinders are all at the same temperature both internally and externally, thanks to that, the castings will be much more accurate because the casting jet solidifies inside the cylinder with uniformity eliminating the typical dimensional inaccuracies and distortion that occur using conventional furnaces.

Wax Carving Pencil

A precise and practical tool, indispensable to professionals who work with precision and strong attention to detail. Mak4 acts as a chisel expertly guided, modeling any kind of wax to the smallest detail, setting the best temperature for each kind of wax and giving it perfect shape and thickness. Easy to use, versatile, reliable in all conditions: it always guarantees good results. No flame, no gas, no fumes. Only your work and the safety that you ask.

Thanks to the absence of open flames, there are no danger of gas or fire escapes. The temperature setting system, via a microprocessor with thermocouple sensor, keeps it constant during all stages of processing, choosing the most suitable for every type of wax.

The absence of flame drastically reduces the production of wax fumes. The wax is carved at melting temperature. The power regulator ensures optimal functionality for both small detailed and extensive works and prevents the moulding material from cooling down. The tips are easily interchangeable and can be instantly heated so you can continue your work with no interruption. The luminous display allows you to monitor the functional status of the carver giving you the proper functioning in real time.

This line was generated in collaboration with some dental laboratories making possible the development of a higher performance product in comparison to similar products on the market. The containment conical casting rings are entirely made of silicone, a highly resistant material.

The internal structure of the cylinders has thin grooves that are distributed on the investment in order to permit a better absorption of the temperature inside the furnace, thus greatly reducing the formation of small cracks. The former bases for free expansion are designed to be used with our silicone rings; in fact, they have power cones specifically designed to be used at Ariete’s casting machines.

Casting rings and sprue former bases for free expansion flank the wide range of ARIETE’s products designed to always achieve the best results.

Ariete produces crucibles with entirely inert material, resistant to high temperatures, which do not react with alloys during the melting stage: therefore, castings are not contaminated in any way. We produce our crucibles with special materials that ligate to form a structure which greatly reduce the risk of sudden ruptures. Once reached the alloy casting temperature the crucible is left at this temperature for only 1-2 minutes, and then it is possible to add the alloy to be melted, obtaining excellent results.

Allucast® crucibles can be used at several cycles of repeated castings. Both palladium-based alloys and reduced noble metal content alloys will always result perfectly clean and free of contamination. Naturally, the crucible should be checked before each casting, to verify its integrity with our luminous pen Stylus.

Steelcast® crucibles are suitable for high temperature castings and therefore particularly suitable for non-nobles castings alloys. The laboratory tests have confirmed the usefulness of these crucibles for alloys casting such as Ni/Cr/Be (no silica), and even more for alloys with Cr/Co (no silica).Also in this case no contamination were detected in the crucibles.

Portagrafite® crucible is a support specifically designed to hold our graphite crucible in castings of Palliag and gold-resin alloys. Ariete’s graphite crucibles are made of pure graphite, highly selected and specifically designed for dental castings. They resist to different casting cycles and do not contaminate the alloys in the molten state. Graphite, being very compact, consumes little and leaves a minimum residue in the crucible that does not mix with the alloy due to its lower specific weight.

Ariete’s casting machines are standardised to our crucibles and so the operation procedure, as well as the duration and quality of castings, are totally different from others on the market.
A research carried out on a sample of 40 dental laboratories, both users of the die-casting machines produced by Ariete and not, demonstrated that Ariete’s crucibles are visibly superior to other crucibles present on the market, in terms of both quality and duration.
