In metallurgy, a ladle is a barrel or vessel used for transporting and pouring molten metal. Ladles are commonly used in foundries and range in size from small, hand-held containers resembling kitchen ladles and holding 20 kg (44 lb) to large ladles weighing up to 300 tons (295 l

Ladles can be of "lip pour" design, "teapot spout" design, "lip shaft design" or "bottom pour" design:• For lip pour designs, the ladle is tilted and the molten metal is poured from the ladle like water from a pitcher.• Teapot spout design, like a teapot, draws liquid from the bo

Ladle and ladle capping technology has applied for national patent At present, the vast majority of domestic iron and steel enterprises use open hot metal tanks to hold hot metal and transport it from the blast furnace to the steelmaking operation area by diesel locomotive or automobile. The distance is relatively far, usually up to several thousand meters, and this section of the road is open-air, with long transportation and waiting time. In addition, the molten iron ladle is open, and the molten iron is in direct contact with the air.
