Description

Applications

Salamander^® ladle liners can be used with steel ladle shells in foundry processing of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys including iron, brass, bronze and other copper alloys, aluminium, zinc and precious metals with temperatures up to 1600C (2900F).

Performance Characteristics

• High quality liner helps keep molten metal free from gas and impurities.
• Robust construction ensures long life in harsh foundry conditions.
• Advanced materials offer high resistance to oxidation and thermal shock.
• Various bottom pour tea-pot configurations available to minimize slag and dross inclusion in the casting pours.

Identification

Salamander^® ladle liners made from clay graphite are identified using the notation L, LB and LT.

Salamander^® ladle liners made from silicon carbide are identified using the notation LX, LBX and LTX.

Pattern Range

Salamander^® ladle liners are available in a wide range of standard diameter and height sizes; from 2.4 to 156.6L brimful capacity* (clay graphite) and from 15.4 to 140.8L (silicon carbide) with custom sizes available upon request.

All designs can be supplied in standard top-pour versions, or with a riser tube and / or cover plate for bottom-pour arrangements.

*Please note that the working capacity is calculated as 90% of the brimful capacity when melting brass, specific gravity 8.75.

Quality

Salamander ladle liners are made from premium grade raw materials under ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
