The SSM-GB60 60kg Industrial Vacuum Gold Bar Casting Machine is the highest-capacity model in the SSM-GB series, purpose-built for large-scale precious metal refineries, bullion foundries, and high-volume industrial producers. Operating under high vacuum (10⁻²~10⁻³ mbar) with optional argon/nitrogen inert gas protection, it eliminates oxidation, surface ripples, and internal porosity, producing mirror-grade gold, silver, K-gold, and copper ingots that fully meet LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) trading standards.
Beyond standard bullion production, the SSM-GB60 is also ideal for industrial precious metal manufacturing, high-volume silver ingot production, and large-scale metal recycling and refining operations. The SSM-GB series offers flexible capacity options from 1kg up to 60kg (including 1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 8kg, 12.5kg, 15kg, 30kg, and 60kg models) to match production scales from small workshops to large industrial facilities. The SSM-GB60 supports 60kg gold batches (or 30kg silver batches) in just 30 minutes, with a precious metal loss rate below 0.1% and a finished product qualification rate exceeding 99%, making it the ideal solution for scaling up high-volume production from traditional manual/semi-automatic casting methods.
2. Concise Working Principle
This machine adopts vacuum induction melting + pressure casting technology:
- Evacuate the chamber to form a high-vacuum environment, with optional inert gas backfilling for full oxygen isolation.
- The 90KW induction heating system rapidly melts precious metals evenly up to 1550℃.
- Automatic crucible tilting and pressure difference drive liquid metal to fill precision molds completely.
- Ingots solidify in an oxygen-free sealed space, resulting in bright, oxide-free products ready for use after demolding.
3. Product Features & Advantages
- Full Series Flexible Capacity Options: The SSM-GB series provides models with casting capacities from 1kg to 60kg, meeting production needs from small-batch to large-scale industrial manufacturing.
- Ultra-Low Metal Loss: Vacuum + inert gas protection controls precious metal loss below 0.1%, maximizing raw material yield and reducing production costs.
- LBMA-Compliant Finished Products: Eliminates pores and deformation, delivering mirror-grade ingots with a qualification rate ≥99%, suitable for international bullion trading.
- Dual-Metal Compatibility: Supports both 60kg gold batches and 30kg silver batches, adapting to diverse production requirements for different precious metals.
- PLC Intelligent Control: One-key start/stop, adjustable temperature/vacuum/time, fault self-diagnosis, and emergency stop for safe, easy operation.
- High-Power Efficient Heating: 90KW induction heating accelerates melting, paired with a water-cooled vacuum chamber to prevent overheating and speed crystallization.
- High Throughput for Large-Scale Production: Handles 60kg gold batches (or 30kg silver batches) in 30 minutes, designed to meet the demands of high-volume industrial foundries and refineries.
- Low Labor Dependency: Simple operation logic allows ordinary workers to master the process after short training, reducing labor costs.
- Customizable Solutions: Supports custom molds for standard bars, special-shaped ingots, and craft embossed products; equipment specifications can also be adjusted for specific needs.
- Safe & Clean Operation: Fully sealed design with no open flame, keeping the ambient temperature near room temperature and eliminating safety hazards.

5. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: What metals can this machine process?
A1: It is suitable for gold, K-gold, silver, copper, and their various alloys, meeting the production needs of the precious metal processing industry.
Q2: What protective gases are supported?
A2: The machine is compatible with high-purity argon and nitrogen, which can be selected according to your production budget and process requirements.
Q3: What is the metal loss rate during casting?
A3: With vacuum and inert gas protection, the precious metal loss rate is controlled within 0.1%, far lower than traditional open casting methods.
Q4: Can this machine handle both gold and silver production?
A4: Yes. The SSM-GB60 supports both 60kg gold batches and 30kg silver batches, making it versatile for mixed precious metal production lines.
Q5: Do you have other capacity models besides SSM-GB60?
A5: Yes. The SSM-GB series includes multiple models with casting capacities from 1kg to 60kg (including 1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 8kg, 12.5kg, 15kg, 30kg, and 60kg) to adapt to different production scales.
Q6: Can I customize the size and shape of ingots?
A6: Yes. We provide professional mold customization services to produce standard bars, special-shaped ingots, gold beans, and craft embossed products as required.
Q7: Is operation difficult for ordinary workers?
A7: No. The PLC touch control system has preset programs, and workers can master daily operation after simple training without professional technical backgrounds.
