Pacific Kiln is widely regarded as the world’s leading manufacturer of FlashFire
Dewax Systems. Their expertise goes well beyond FlashFire Dewax Systems
and burnout/preheat ovens, however. 

They are dedicated to providing the investment casting industry with economical
equipment – whether it be for burnout or shell building! Ransom & Randolph
is pleased to represent Pacific Kiln equipment in North America and Europe.

 

• PKI’s patented FlashFire Dewax System has tremendous advantages over traditional dewax
  methods. It reduces many time-consuming steps into one efficient, effective process. Dewax,
  burnout and, in many cases, preheat can be achieved in one simple cycle. 
   
• Pacific Kiln Burnout Ovens are manufactured specifically for use in the investment casting
  industry. PKI offers the New Generation Burnout Oven and the Standard Burnout Oven to fit the
  foundry’s individual needs. 
   
• PKI offers three kinds of slurry mixers to fit the needs of a variety of casters: 
  
  The Deluxe Slurry Mixer offers casters a stainless steel tank & blade to provide a
  contamination-free shell-building environment. The Deluxe mixer comes standard with a
  gearbox that is protected from slurry splash - protecting the inner workings of the machine
  and offering the foundry a virtually silent mixer. Available in 90, 160, 250, 375, and 725 gallon
  capacities. 
  
  The Economy Slurry Mixer features a polyethylene tank, stainless steel blade and double-belt
  reduction drive. It is simple, safe, durable - and affordable as the name implies. The motor is
  protected from slurry droppings, but is not enclosed as is the Deluxe model. Available in 30,
  75, and 130 gallon capacities. 
  
  The Tear Drop Slurry Tank is an exclusive Pacific Kiln product. Its unique design prevents
  refractory from settling out at the bottom of the tank. Constructed of heavy molded fiberglass
  with a smooth white inside surface, the tank sits in a heavy duty tubular frame that holds it
  securely in place. The tank may be removed and replaced without any disassembly. The stand
  is deigned for use with the PKI Variable Speed Mixer. Available in 40 and 80 gallon capacities.
   
• The PKI Barrel Rain Sander is equipped with a screen to catch “snurds” for easy cleaning and
  with a guard to catch sand and prevent operator access to the barrel. Available with 18, 24, 30,
  36, 42, 48 and 60 inch openings.
   
• The PKI Fluidized Bed is a simple, yet thorough means of applying stucco to the wet slurry shell.
  High pressure air is supplied to the bed plenum and is allowed to disperse evenly through the
  porous stone into the stucco medium thus allowing it to float. The shell is then easily
  immersed into the stucco medium for coating. Constructed in two pieces for easy assembly
  and maintenance. Available with 18, 24, 30 and 36 inch openings. 
   
• The PKI Knockout Machine is a cabinet-enclosed pneumatic cylinder that clamps the tree tightly
  while the air hammer vibrates ceramic material loose. The cabinet is sound insulated to
  provide a quiet shell removal environment. Available with a load area of 18 in³ or 24 in³.
