Related Product Features:
Specialized ladles are heated and insulated to maintain temperature and prevent skull formation.
Lids are refractory-lined to minimize heat loss and oxidation while acting as a spill barrier.
Dedicated transport vehicles feature low center of gravity and excellent brakes for safe movement.
Pre-defined routes ensure clear, marked pathways free of obstructions for safe transfer.
Safety protocols include not overfilling ladles and maintaining slow, controlled travel speeds.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is mandatory for all personnel involved in the transfer.
Alternatives like satellite melting or launder systems are preferred to minimize risks.
Long-distance transfer is reserved for scenarios where alternatives are not viable.
