Why upgrade to a modern induction casting machine?
For many years, dental laboratories relied on torch melting systems. Although this technology is still used in some laboratories, it now presents several limitations regarding safety, melting precision, operator comfort and casting consistency.
The Ducatron Quattro from UGIN Dentaire represents a new generation of induction casting machines designed to meet the modern demands of laboratories producing cobalt chrome frameworks, removable partial dentures, bridges and highly precise metal infrastructures.
Torch melting VS Ducatron Quattro induction melting
| Criteria | Torch melting | Ducatron Quattro induction |
| Melting precision | Highly operator dependent | Homogeneous and repeatable melting |
| Metal overheating risk | High depending on flame exposure | Controlled and stable temperature |
| Casting quality | Variable depending on experience | Highly stable results |
| Cobalt chrome melting | More difficult to control | Optimized for CoCr alloys |
| Operator comfort | High heat and noise | Silent and stable machine |
| Laboratory safety | Open flame and pressurized gas | Fully enclosed casting chamber |
| Gas / oxygen storage | Required | No cylinders required |
| Daily maintenance | Gas and torch monitoring | Very low maintenance |
| Burn risk | Higher | Significantly reduced |
| Laboratory consistency | Strongly operator dependent | Excellent reproducibility |
Significantly improved laboratory safety
Traditional torch melting requires laboratories to manage:
- gas and oxygen cylinders,
- high-temperature open flames,
- operator burn risks,
- storage and safety constraints.
The Ducatron Quattro completely simplifies this working environment.
Its fully enclosed casting chamber, flame-free induction system and autonomous operation significantly reduce risks related to handling molten alloys.
The laboratory benefits from a cleaner, safer and more comfortable working environment.
More consistent melting quality
With torch melting, alloy quality strongly depends on operator experience and flame positioning.
Poor thermal management may result in:
- alloy overheating,
- excessive oxidation,
- reduced alloy flowability,
- less precise castings.
Thanks to its high-frequency induction melting, the Ducatron Quattro heats alloys rapidly and evenly, significantly reducing the risk of overheating or damaging the alloy during melting.
Ducatron Quattro VS previous-generation Series 3
| Upgrades | Ducatron Series 3 | Ducatron Quattro |
| Motorization | Older belt-driven system | Direct-drive DC gear motor |
| Belt tension adjustment | Required | Eliminated |
| Noise level | Higher | Silent operation |
| Vibrations | Present | Virtually nonexistent |
