Key Features:

• Heat-Resistant Material: Ladles are lined with refractory material to resist high temperatures therefore preventing failure during molten metal handling.
• Pouring Operation: Ladles have a spout or tilting arrangement to ensure that the molten metal flow is controlled from the ladle into the mold with minimum splash and maximum accuracy.
• Variety of Capacities: There are ladles of various sizes to suit the needs of different amounts of molten metal. That means flexibility with respect to production necessities. 

The ladle is widely used in foundries and steelmaking for casting molten metal into molds from furnaces. Safe transfer enhances product quality in that it reduces contamination. Thus, design serves productivity and consistency.
