The RiaceWax AUTOMATIC BELT SYSTEM INTUITIVE injector belongs to the Intuitive line and retains all its features; it can inject up to 20 molds of different sizes at the same time by loading them automatically and speeding up the entire production process thanks to the self-centering function on the molds of different sizes; it can create light and very thin objects, maintaining their weight over time.

An Android tablet is the control unit of both the machine and the loading system, with specially developed apps that also allow checking statistics and productivity. Thanks to the ability to connect remotely, it is compatible with Industry 4.0.

It is equipped with a transparent melting tank with a constant vacuum system, digital sensors to control the pressures that always allow for checking the graphs of the vacuum trend on the molds during injection from the tablets, an RFID reader, a TC-700 cooler, a 16-cmc injection syringe with final temperature regulation and a self-centring clamp with 120x90mm plates.
This machine is designed to accommodate a versatile range of mould sizes, supporting dimensions from a minimum of 50 x 30 x 12 mm up to a maximum of 120 x 90 x 47 mm. The unit itself weighs 75 kg with a physical footprint of 130 x 72 x 53 cm.
Alessio Farnetani, Sales Manager-RiaceWax, underscoring the USP, said, “This machine works without any downtime and reduces errors. There has been a good response from Indian jewellery manufacturers because this system speeds up production, maintains quality and ensures weight consistency, which is critical given rising prices of gold.”
