Got Ladles? We Do!

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

Modern Equipment Company can help you maximize your casting facility's production with one of the industry's widest and most advanced lines of molten metal handling equipment. 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 Ladles

Modern Equipment has been at the forefront for customized ladle solutions since day one. We can build a ladle to suit your particular application or replace a specialty design no longer manufactured by others. Custom built ladles for pre-cast liners are manufactured routinely. 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.
