High-Performance Refractory Bottom Pouring Sets for Steel Foundries
Mitticool Refractories provides premium-quality Bottom Pouring Sets designed for safe, controlled, and efficient molten metal pouring operations in steel foundries. Our bottom pouring refractories are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures, thermal shock, erosion, and molten metal attack, ensuring smooth casting operations and improved metal quality.
Bottom pouring systems are widely used in ingot casting where molten steel is poured from the bottom of the mold through a network of refractory components. This method minimizes turbulence, reduces oxidation, and helps achieve cleaner and defect-free castings.
What is a Bottom Pouring Set?
A Bottom Pouring Set is a specially designed assembly of refractory shapes used to guide molten metal from a pouring ladle to multiple ingot molds through a controlled flow system. The set consists of various refractory components that form runners, junctions, and pouring channels capable of handling high-temperature molten steel.
The system ensures :
- Uniform metal distribution
- Reduced slag entrapment
- Lower oxidation losses
- Improved ingot quality
- Better casting yield
- Enhanced operational safety
