Ceramic and Calcium Silicate Aluminum Transfer Launders (Troughs)

Modular, high-performance ceramic and calcium silicate refractory launders (troughs) designed for the safe and efficient transport of molten aluminum from melting furnaces to casting stations. As depicted by the modular L-shaped elbow section, these systems offer flexible integration into existing cast house layouts. They combine the exceptional thermal insulation properties of calcium silicate to maintain precise melt temperatures, with the robust mechanical erosion resistance of solid ceramics. Featuring superior non-wetting properties to liquid aluminum, these launder liners effectively prevent dross adhesion, aluminum penetration, and oxide inclusions, ensuring smooth and clean metal flow.

Key Features:

• Optimized Insulation & Durability: Calcium silicate provides excellent heat retention to prevent cold shuts, while dense ceramic structures withstand severe molten metal erosion and mechanical impacts.

• Non-Wetting Performance: Chemically inert surfaces prevent liquid aluminum and alloy adhesion, minimizing dross buildup and facilitating easy maintenance.

• Modular System Integration: Available in straight channels, L-elbow turns, and custom geometries to create seamless, leak-proof metal transfer lines.
