Steel furnace shells, launders and transfer ladles built to your drawings
Overview
What it is and where it works
Steelwork and lined vessels that move and contain liquid metal: furnace shells and frames, launders (troughs) that carry metal by gravity from melting to holding furnace or to the casting station, and transfer or pouring ladles. Each launder combines a hot-face refractory, backup insulation and steel casing, sized for metal velocity and the temperature needed at the casting point. Offered as steelwork only or steel plus refractory lining.

Buyer questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply the lining or only the steelwork?
Both: steelwork only, or steel plus refractory lining. Tell us which lining your plant uses today so the steel fits it.
Can a launder keep metal temperature over a long run?
Insulated and covered launders reduce temperature loss, and heated versions keep it uniform; the design depends on distance to the casting station and flow rate.
