Tech/Engineering - Medical: Dentistry / Casting Muffles
German term or phrase: 9-fach Muffel
"Bei einer ***9-fach-Muffel*** werden 450 gr Pulver und 99 ml Flüssigkeit benötigt.

Sobald die Muffel soweit gefüllt ist, daß die Gußobjekte fast bedeckt sind, wird weitere Einbettmasse nur noch sehr langsam zugefügt."

From a text about dental precision casting. I haven't the faintest idea what is meant by "9-fach Muffel". The best I can guess is size 9 muffle or muffle with 9 trays or compartments. Hope someone here has a better idea than I do! TIA for your help.

Explanation:
Perhaps 9-fach is also 9-er

Whatever it is, it appears to be quite large judging by the amount of mix being made up

This seems by far the most likely solution, in view of that earlier question and the references you provided. So thanks Jill - you've saved the day here! But thanks anyway to JM Simon as well for having a go. Appreciate everyone's efforts.
