Foundry Ladles

Specialized foundry ladles are used in foundries to move molten metal from one container to another. Depending on the kind of metal being moved and the needed capacity, they are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The bottom-pour ladle, which has a pouring spout on the bottom of the container, is the most typical kind of ladle. These are widely used for transferring large amounts of metal. In the foundry sector, foundry ladles are used to move molten metal from one place to another, often from a melting furnace to a holding furnace. They are frequently used to hold metal while it is degassed or fluxed.
