Product description
The electric heating apparatus under consideration is a Boilerclave®, which is used to de-wax ceramic foundry molds that cast metal. It can reach a temperature of 180 degrees and by using steamed pressure, this apparatus thermally transfers heat to a wax pattern covered by a ceramic slurry. This results in the melting of the wax, which is then collected in the wax collection system. The Boilerclave® is insulated and said to provide a uniform distribution of temperature. It is programmable and is controlled by push buttons. Its chamber diameter ranges between 900 to 2000 millimeters and its useable length ranges from 1100 to 2000 millimeters. Heading 8419 provides for machinery, whether or not electrically heated, used for the treatment of materials by a process such as heating. In this instance, the Biolerclave® is a machine that melts wax by using heat, as such,
