ladles for aluminium and other non-ferric metal castings



We deliver all kinds of ladles for non-ferric metal castings.

  • For diecasting, gravity casting, sand casting and castings for polystyrene
  • The ladles are made from high quality, thin-walled and long-life hard castings, not from sheet metal.
  • We have more than 110 different patterns and more than 1000 ladles "on stock" (in East and West).
  • The ladles can contain melt weights up to 100 kg
  • We are able to deliver ladles for new projects quickly; either from stock or true handmade prototypes or from new patterns.
  • We are the development partner of several manufacturers of robots and casting machines
  • We deliver to all large aluminium foundries in the automotive industry, in Germany and Eastern Europe
  • We give on-site advice to our customers in case of exuberant wear (tribology).
Our top-notch customers are the large German car-manufacturers, large foundries and the robot and handling manufacturers. We regularly supply ladles:
  • to BMW, Daimler, Ford and Volkswagen
  • to robot manufactures ABB, Fanuc, Kuka and Reis
  • for handling equipment from Ciropress, Pomac, Schmitz & Apelt, Sprötze, Gauss
  • for diecasting machines from Bühler, Coloseo, Frech, Idra, Müller-Weingarten, UBE
  • to a large number of aluminium foundries in Western and Eastern Europe


Ceramic Ladles

We deliver two kinds of ceramic ladles:
Ladles with ceramic covering, colour black:

  • The Ceramic is heat resistant up to 1100 °C. The Covering is not composed of enamel but an industrial ceramic.
  • We can offer the whole spectrum of more than 100 models on stock.
  • We can cover ladles and rins placed by our clients with ceramics.
  • The ladles reach furthermore the whole strength between holding and melt
  • The ladles should still be covered with a refractory layer to avoid the sticking of Aluminium on ceramic.
  • The durability of ceramic covered ladles can be raised by this way. Though the experiences of different casting houses are difficult to compare.



Stainless Steel Ladles, colour dark grey:
  • During two years of cooperation with a high-capacity casting house we have developed a Chrome Nickel melt, that reaches in real performance a higher durability than a full ceramic ladle! The advantages of casted ladles e.g. resistance against mill scale persist but a higher durability of six or more months can be added.
  • Though these ladles are noticeable more expensive.
  • We can offer the whole spectrum of more than 100 models on stock.
  • The highest durability is reached by combining blackening and a ceramic covering

X-ray control of ladles

It is important that ladles are free of shrink holes. Only perfect castings can reach maximal durability. Therefore we control 100 % of our ladles by X-ray!


X-ray analysis by a facility of Philips

The X-ray facility enables to control:

  • iron castings
  • aluminium or magnesium castings
The modern picture processing allows to save and print the results so that we can send them per e-mail.
The X-ray-facility was an expensive investment, but allows us to guaranty highest quality of the ladles.
