Phoenix-VFD Series

Automated Fusion Technology and Phoenix have become synonymous with quality, durability, repeatability and an ability to fuse the most difficult of materials, anywhere anytime.  Whether fusing at high altitude, or fusing difficult materials such as ferro alloys, silicates or sulphide's the Phoenix can do it.  Put us to the test, send your samples for free appraisal.  We will recommend the correct fusion flux, temperature, fusion times etc.  If you produce only 1 sample per day or 2000 samples per day we have a Phoenix to meet your needs.   Contact your nearest distributor for more information.

Operation

The PHOENIX series of Fusion Machines are designed to allow the preparation of permanent and homogeneous fused beads under accurately reproducible conditions. Samples are dissolved and mixed into a lithium borate flux at typically 1050 degrees Celsius. (Flame temperatures are adjustable from 800 to 1600 degrees Celsius) This is done over oxygen enriched flames using specially designed burners. The sample is automatically poured into preheated moulds. The moulds are then retracted outside of the fusing area and located over separate cooling jets for precise control of cooling.
