Ladles and transfer vessels are the link between the melting unit and the casting plant. A reliable refractory lining is not only a question of cost-effectiveness here, but of operational safety. SBS Refractory Service is your experienced partner for the lining and maintenance of all common ladle types.
From the steelworks and the foundry to the integrated iron and steel works: we know the specific requirements placed on steel ladles, transfer ladles, torpedo ladle cars, hot metal mixers and transfer crucibles. Every lining is matched precisely to the transported medium, the slag chemistry and the operating conditions.
Our installation teams work on schedule and with safety awareness — even under the demanding conditions found in steelworks and metallurgical plants. Via our 24/7 hotline we are ready for action at any time for urgent repairs.
