Down sprue – Pouring cup

At the top of the down sprue, a pouring cup (pouring basin) is often used to minimize splash and turbulence as the metal flows into the down sprue.

Pouring Cup is the funnel-shaped opening, made at the top of the mold. The main purpose of the pouring basin is to direct the flow of molten metal from ladle to the sprue.

instruction of pouring system

The ceramic sprue tube for foundry has advantages of its high refractoriness, anti-scouring, light-weight and practical, easy-cutting and convenient for using, cost-saving and improving cast quality.

The product is suitable for resin sand, sodium silicate sand, precoated sand, and some other formative technology. It is used for casting high manganese steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, high chromium cast iron, ductile iron, grey iron castings, etc.
