PLUMBAGO™

FOUNDRY PRODUCTSResulting from many years of MORGAN research and development, Salamander Plumbago products are manufactured from the finest quality natural graphite and bonded with selected refractory clays.

Manufactured to the same exacting standards in our high quality clay graphite mixes, MORGAN foundry accessories are suitable for use with a wide range of alloys at service temperatures of up to 1600°C (2912°F).

LADLEBOWLSThebestmethodoftakingmoltenmetalsamplesandforskimmingslag from induction furnaces and ladles. The products are supplied in a range of sizes from 275 cm3 to 2000 cm3 capacity. Designed for obtaining samples for spectrographic analysis, test bars and thermal analysis samples. Molten metal samples can be retrieved in a cost efficient way, free from contamination of dirt, which is close totemperatureofthebulkmetalbeingsampled(importantforthermal analysis).

Whensuppliedwithadrainhole,ladlesaretheidealmeansofremoving slag and dirt from induction furnaces and casting ladles without resorting to the excessive use of slag coagulants which can be a source of defects in the final casting if they are not completely removed from the molten metal.

TUBESFor “teapot” pour ladles, cupola receiver entries and spouts, cupola slagging box syphons, etc. Available in a range of sizes from 25 mm diameter to 254 mm diameter and lengths up to 1397 mm.

LAUNDERSPre-firedshapesforthe transfer of ferrous andnon-ferrousmetalsfrom furnace to furnace or from furnace to ladle. Launders provide a metal transfer system thathasahighresistancetoerosionandisvirtuallymaintenance-freewhen installed properly. Available in many sizes to suit most runner systems. Also suitable for use as spouts in “teapot” spout casting ladles.

PYROMETERSHEATHSVGandVGI: Pyrometer sheaths offer an economical system for measurement of liquid metal temperature, and provide accuracy and good response. Available for both floating and fixed installations in a range of sizes to suit most applications. HOTROD:TheHotRodthermocouplesheathrangeoffersapremium thermocouple protection system that provides excellent service life and premium accuracy and response. Supplied ready for use with a threaded steel tube for rapid attachment to the furnace Pyrometry system. Thread type: 0.5” BSP.

TOOLSPlungermixers,circulardippers,dipsamplers,stirrersandskimmers.For stirring additions into molten metal. Plunger mixers are available with or without a steel reinforcing rod for additional strength. All plungers can be supplied with a steel reinforcing rod.
