Casting Spoon

The ladle is manufactured in small series by a traditional foundry company.

The ladle is used to heat the melt directly over the fire.

They are also used to skim the melt or slag directly from the crucible.

In addition to our standard dimensions, other sizes with special handles or materials can be produced.

Melting

Volker Allexi and his brother demonstrate here how to melt tin easily.

Tin pellets are melted using a ladle and a propane gas burner.

Melting takes place directly in the ladle. This allows for quick and easy pouring directly into the molds.

The melting point of pure tin is 232°C. It is heated above the melting temperature until the optimal pouring temperature is reached. This can be recognized by the slight formation of a skin on the surface, which shimmers bluish to golden.
