Ladles hold a very special place in Modern Equipment’s hearts. After all, foundry ladles are where we got our start back in 1919, as Modern Pouring Device company.

Whether you're retrofitting or building a new facility, we're sure to have a foundry ladle product that's compatible with your melting system capacities and delivery needs.

Custom spouts, gearings, and configurations are our specialty. Please contact us to help you with your projects.

Ladle Pre-heaters

Modern Equipment 's ladle pre-heaters are designed to efficiently control where the heat is being applied. Rather than simply firing a torch into a ladle, look to Modern’s engineered ladle pre-heating solutions to reduce your costs effectively.
