Street transport crucible

Description

The transport crucible for liquidaluminium is used to transport aluminium melts on public roads from the smelter to the foundry. Itconsists of a solid steel casing with reinforcing strips and a temperature resisting refractory liningwith optimal heat insulating properties.The feet of the crucible are equippedwith bores to fix the crucible on transport vehicles and tilting units. Thecrucible can be emptied through a corresponding pouring spout. The removablecover provides a filling hole which can be closed during transport, this alsorefers to the pouring spout.
