Preheating

After the stipulated setting time of the respective investment material (IPS PressVEST or IPS PressVEST Speed), the

investment ring is prepared for preheating as follows:

– Remove the ring gauge with a turning movement.

– Carefully push the investment ring out of the IPS Silicone Ring.

– Remove the ring base with a turning movement.

– Remove rough spots on the bottom surface of the investment ring with a plaster knife. Check the 90° angle. Investment

material residue must not enter the sprues. Blow into the sprues if necessary.

– If several investment rings are preheated together, mark them accordingly.

If several Speed investments are to be

conducted, they should be invested

consecutively and placed into the

preheating furnace at an interval of

approximately 20 minutes. Make sure

that the furnace temperature does not

drop too much when placing the

investment rings into the preheating

furnace. The stipulated holding time

counts from the point when the pre-

heating temperature has been reached

again.
