German term

9-fach Muffel

German to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Dentistry Casting Muffles
"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.
Proposed translations (English)
2 size 9 muffle
2 9-part case/container

Aha! Yes, "Size 9 muffle" just might be it! Nice one Jill! Now we're cooking! Thanks! :-)

Come on, come on The lack of decent answers here is really frustrating. :-(
Non-ProZ.com Oct 12, 2004:
A little more context From a couple of paragraphs down:

"Die Aufheizzeit einer ***9-fach-Muffel*** betr�gt insgesamt etwa 200 Minuten."

Does that trigger any extra ideas?

I'm extremely doubtful about "9-part", especially when no credible references or explanations are provided. Please, someone answer who has SOME knowledge of this subject! You don't really need to know about dentistry, just a basic understanding of casting will do!

size 9 muffle

Perhaps 9-fach is also 9-er
See your previous question

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

9-part case/container

Ein Muffel ist ein Behältnis...

As to the 9-fach... Just my take on it :)
