Choose the Sintering Program that is Best for You
Lava™ Classic
Designed for automation or overnight use, this program includes drying time for shaded copings and frameworks. Drying occurs on the furnace lift. During the sintering cycle, the furnace will automatically open to release the accumulated gases from the shading liquid. |
|||
Lava™ Pre-dried
This program allows you to reduce “oven time” by drying shaded copings and frameworks outside the furnace. During the sintering cycle, the furnace will open to release gases from the shading liquid that accumulate within the furnace. |
|||
Lava™ Non-shaded
This program is for unshaded copings and frameworks. It is the fastest program because there is no need to include drying time or exchange of the atmosphere in the furnace chamber during the sintering cycle. |
