Ladle Pre-Heating System

What is a Ladle Pre-Heating System?

A Ladle Pre-Heating System is an essential industrial solution used to heat ladles before they receive molten metal. Pre-heating removes moisture and ensures thermal stability, preventing thermal shock, minimizing metal temperature drop, and improving casting quality.

  • Removes moisture from ladle lining
  • Prevents metal solidification due to cold surface
  • Reduces thermal shock and cracking
  • Improves metallurgical consistency
  • Our Ladle Pre-Heating Systems in Bangalore and Shivamogga are available in vertical and horizontal burner configurations and can be operated using gas, oil, or electricity for efficient performance.
