Instrumentation
Temperature
Indicmax 2000 II
With it’s oversized indicator panel, stack lighting and horn, the Matrix Indicmax 2000 II offers practicality, reliability, and speed in the control of molten metal temperature.
In addition, there is an optional Remote Display, which is a single repeater of the Indicmax 2000 II. The remote requires an independent power supply and can be installed up to 3000 feet distance by a common pair of wire. So there can be a display at the place of reading and in the control room or the foundry floor.
The temperature, time, date and place of reading are optional information that can be tracked every reading for increased traceability.
These displays are durable and predominantly maintenance-free, designed to function in foundry applications. The Indicmax 2000 II, in combination with Matrix’s full line of thermocouple lances, is the easiest, most efficient way to control temperature in your foundry.

PPF2 Portable Pyrometer
When a stationary pyrometer is not practical, use the Matrix PPF2. This instrument was developed to take temperature in any place thanks to it’s portability and simplicity. It functions in the same manner as the Indicmax 2000 II with the following features:
- Rechargable NiMH Batteries
- Visual and sonorous alarm for the end of measure, open thermocouple and Error (bad reading)
- Green, yellow and red LED’s to indicate the status of the measuring
- Retention on the reading in the display for 5 sec.
- Auto power down and hibernation
- Recall last reading
The reading is nearly instantaneous, and the fast response will aid in service life of the thermocouples. The PPF2 can use any brand of Type ‘S’ expendable thermocouple, and Type ‘K’ is available upon request.
CheckTherm
The CHECKTHERM was specially developed to work in conjunct to the PPF II, INDICMAX and CARBOMAX. It makes a fast checking of type S and K readers through pre-set temperatures.
The CHECKTHERM can provide the solution of usual problems that often happen on the pyrometers in a foundry shop. When you have a problem or a suspect of bad reading, it is possible to simulate a temperature into the lance connector or directly in the equipment to check it out. This allows you to correct a problem without removing it or send to the technical assistance. It will save time and reduce cost.
The equipment is protected by a synthetic leather case with a practical handle to protect against foundry environment and shock.
It is supplied by rechargeable batteries with long duration. The recharger of CHECKTHERM is compatible to the PPF2.
Thermal Analysis
CarboMax II
The CARBOMAX II has a micro-controlled circuit which provides confident and reproductive results with the ability to connect to a printer and computer to register the data
The working principle comes from the molten iron thermal analysis cooling curve of a sample collected from the furnace/ladle and poured into a tellurium cup. Through the analysis of the “Liquidus” and “Solidus” temperature arrests, the instrument presents in less than 3 seconds the Carbon Equivalent, Carbon and Silicon percentage just on the melting shop.
The CARBOMAX II operation is very simple and the preset parameters allows a “Plug and Go” without any prior adjustment.
