Crucibles are produced by vibration casting (Vibro-cast) when the required size or shape is un economic or
impractical by the isopressing production method..
Benefits
- Melt capacities in excess of 100 kg.
- Complex shapes, e.g.. internal pouring siphon.
If the size you require is not listed please contact us and we will endeavour to fulfil your requirements.
The normal crucible mixes below can all be cast into different pre-cast shapes, including Teapot ladles.
