Applications

Salamander® Plumbago launders are suitable for use in all molten metal transfer systems, including spout, furnace to ladle and ladle to furnace.  

The range includes profile shapes suitable for applications including:

• Cupola (teapot) spout designed for use with a casting ladle. The non-wetting properties of the clay graphite help to reduce slag build-up, minimising cleaning required.

• Deep profile for operations where the flow of metal is greater. This design ensures the molten metal is contained.

• Large profile ideal for long-service life molten metal transfer applications such as ladle to furnace or furnace to ladle in high volume foundries. 

Performance characteristics

• Low maintenance - high resistance pre-fired shapes are robust in operation.

• Good metal flow - non-wetting properties of clay graphite minimise cleaning requirement.

• Sizes and profiles suitable for most molten metal transfer systems.
