Cycle time is an estimate, not guaranteed output. It changes with metal type and purity, starting temperature, bar thickness, graphite mold design, chamber settings, cooling-water temperature and chiller performance. Power supply can be engineered for the destination where technically available; confirm voltage, phase and frequency before ordering.

Complete Production Route

From Refined Metal to Numbered Bullion Bar

This workflow shows where the main machine and each supporting machine are used.

Prepare the feed

Use clean refined metal. A granulator is useful when large material must be converted into uniform, easy-to-weigh grains.

Weigh each charge

Weigh material for the required finished bar and loading allowance according to the approved production procedure.

Load the graphite mold

Use a custom mold matching the confirmed bar weight, length, width, thickness and cavity layout.

Vacuum and protect

The chamber is evacuated and the approved inert-gas settings are used to control the casting environment.

Induction melt

The metal is melted inside the matched mold rather than manually poured from an open crucible.

Controlled cooling

The water chiller maintains the required cooling-water conditions for the induction system and casting cycle.

Stamp fixed information

A hydraulic press and custom die apply the brand logo, purity, weight or other repeatable deep marks.

Add serial numbers

A dot peen marking machine adds changing serial numbers, batch codes or traceability characters after casting.

Casting Technical Guidance

How to Produce a Bright, Smooth Gold or Silver Bar Surface

A vacuum gold bar casting machine provides the controlled environment, but the final mirror-like surface also depends on the material, graphite mold, vacuum integrity, heating profile and cooling conditions.

A bright bullion surface is a process result, not a machine-only promise. Vacuum casting reduces air exposure and oxidation, but it does not refine contaminated metal or automatically correct an unsuitable mold, a leaking vacuum system or unstable cooling water.
1. Start with clean, refined metal

Purity, alloy composition, moisture, flux residue and contamination can all change color and surface reflection. Confirm the feed material before changing machine parameters.

2. Use the correct graphite mold

Match the cavity to the bar dimensions and use dense, clean and dry graphite. Inspect the mold for oxidation, powder shedding, cracks or residue before loading valuable metal.

3. Control mold preheating

Preheat according to the approved process so the mold is not too cold or overheated. Excessive heating accelerates graphite oxidation, while unstable mold temperature can affect solidification.

4. Verify vacuum and inert gas

Check chamber seals, vacuum lines, pump condition and the specified argon or nitrogen program. Pinholes and oxidation marks should be diagnosed before simply increasing heating time.

5. Stabilize melting and cooling

Set melting and cooling time for the metal, bar thickness and mold layout. A correctly sized water chiller helps keep cooling-water temperature and flow consistent from batch to batch.

6. Diagnose the actual defect

Dull film, graphite adhesion, ripple marks, shrinkage and pinholes have different causes. Record the material batch, mold condition, vacuum value and cycle settings before making one controlled adjustment.

Supporting Equipment

What Else Is Needed for a Practical Gold Bar Production Line?

“Required” means the production utility or tooling is necessary. “Recommended option” depends on the customer's incoming material and marking requirement.

industrial water chiller for vacuum gold bar making machine
Required Cooling Utility

Matched Water Chiller

Provides stable circulating water for the induction power system and casting process. Chiller capacity must be matched to the selected CDO-F model, ambient temperature, water flow, inlet temperature and operating hours—not selected only by appearance or tank size.

custom graphite mold for gold and silver bullion bar casting
Required Custom Tooling

Custom Graphite Bar Mold

The graphite mold determines the finished bar cavity, dimensions and number of bars per cycle. CDOCAST can machine molds for gold and silver bars according to the customer's required weight and drawing. Before production, confirm the bar length, width, thickness, side taper, corner radius, top and bottom shape, cavity quantity and any handling structure required by the selected CDO-F machine.

metal granulator for preparing gold and silver grains before bar casting
Recommended Upstream Option

Gold and Silver Granulator

Converts refined metal into smaller grains that are easier to weigh and distribute inside the graphite mold. It is especially useful when the incoming material is a large block, irregular scrap or when repeatable charge preparation matters. It does not replace refining or purity control.

hydraulic logo stamping press for gold and silver bullion bars
Recommended Downstream Option

Hydraulic Logo Stamping Press

Uses controlled pressing force and a custom positioning die to apply repeatable information such as the refinery logo, purity and nominal weight. Press tonnage and die structure should be selected from the bar footprint, metal, mark depth and production frequency.

dot peen serial number marking on a cast gold bar
Traceability Option

Dot Peen Marking Machine

A computer-controlled marking pin creates permanent dot-matrix characters on the bar surface. It is the practical choice for information that changes on every bar, such as serial numbers, batch codes and production identifiers. Confirm marking area, character height, depth and whether compressed air is available.

Do Not Confuse the Two

Hydraulic Logo Stamping vs Dot Peen Serial Number Marking

Professional bullion producers commonly use both because the information and marking method are different.

Hydraulic Press + Custom Die

Best for fixed information and a stronger pressed impression.

  • Brand or refinery logo
  • Purity mark such as 999.9
  • Nominal weight such as 1 kg
  • Repeatable layout and deeper embossing
  • Requires a matched die and bar-positioning fixture

Dot Peen Marking Machine

Best for variable information that changes from bar to bar.

  • Unique serial number
  • Batch or production code
  • Date or traceability characters
  • Computer-entered alphanumeric content
  • Requires confirmation of marking depth and air supply

Purchase Questions

Vacuum Gold Bar Making Machine FAQ

Keep only this visible FAQ on the page. If Rank Math FAQ schema is used, enter the same questions and answers there without adding another visible FAQ block.

Do I need a metal granulator before the vacuum gold bar casting machine?
Not in every project. If the refinery already receives clean, small and easy-to-weigh feed, it may load that material directly according to the approved process. A granulator is recommended when incoming material is bulky or irregular, when more convenient weighing is needed, or when uniform mold loading improves production control.
Is the water chiller optional?
Stable water cooling is a machine operating requirement. A customer may use an existing chiller only if its cooling capacity, water flow, pump pressure, inlet-water temperature and duty cycle match the selected casting machine. CDOCAST should verify these values before the order is finalized.
Can one machine make several different gold bar sizes?
Often yes, within the machine chamber, capacity and supported mold limits. Each bar size or cavity arrangement normally requires a matching graphite mold. Send the exact bar dimensions and pieces per cycle so the chamber and mold layout can be checked before quotation.
What information is needed to customize the graphite mold?
Send the metal type, target bar weight, exact finished length, width and thickness, side taper, corner radius, top and bottom profile, acceptable dimensional tolerance and the required number of cavities per cycle. A drawing or physical sample is preferable. CDOCAST will also check that the mold's external dimensions, heating position and handling method match the selected vacuum gold bar making machine.
Why use both a hydraulic stamping press and a dot peen marking machine?
The hydraulic press is suited to repeatable fixed information such as the brand logo, purity and nominal weight. The dot peen marker is suited to variable information such as a unique serial number or batch code. Using both creates a clearer and more flexible bullion identification workflow.
Can the same equipment make silver bars and gold bars?
The CDO-F series supports gold and silver applications, but capacity, mold design, heating settings, cooling time and production output differ by metal and bar geometry. Silver producers often select CDO-F4 or a larger model when higher batch output is required.
How can I produce a bright, mirror-like gold or silver bar surface?
Use clean and appropriately refined feed material, a dense and correctly sized graphite mold, controlled mold preheating, a leak-free vacuum system, the approved inert-gas program and stable cooling water. Melting and cooling settings must match the metal, bar thickness and mold layout. If the surface is dull, porous or covered with graphite residue, diagnose the specific defect instead of changing several parameters at once.
What must be customized for a 12.5 kg or 1000 oz bar?
At minimum, confirm the finished bar drawing, graphite mold, casting settings, chiller load and marking method. Heavy bars also require a review of mold frames, lifting devices, transfer routes and operator handling. A heavy-ingot quote should therefore cover more than the casting machine alone.

Request a Complete Gold or Silver Bar Production Proposal

Send the metal, purity, bar weight and dimensions, bars per cycle, daily output, logo artwork, serial-number format, local power supply and available workshop utilities. CDOCAST can then quote the correct vacuum casting machine, graphite molds, water chiller, granulator, hydraulic logo press and dot peen marking system.
