20. January 2021 A solution to rapid changes of nozzle size in bottom pour applications When using stopper and nozzle technologies for bottom pouring applications it may be desirable to change nozzle diameters between fills of the ladle or even between castings. In normal circumstances this would not be possible as it would require removing and replacing the nozzle and stopper. Foseco VAPEX FOSLOW is a new system that allows for changes in nozzle diameter, even in a full ladle. VAPEX FOSFLOW alumina graphite nozzles use both carbon and ceramic bond technology. The combination of th...
