SALAMANDER LADLE LINERS
✓ CLEAN, GAS FREE METAL
✓ LONG LIFE, NO PATCHING
✓ EASY TO FIT
The liner should be set in the steel shell with Trimor Insulcast,
which is a good insulator and sets firmly.
MIXING TRIMOR8 INSULCAST
Mix only sufficient for the job at hand
Mix with water - four parts by weight of Insulcast, to one part
water
VENTING THE LADLE
1. Ladle shells should be vented to ensure the release
of moisture from the Insulcast. Shells with a capacity less than
150 Kg should have four 6mm holes in the base (Including
one in the centre) and four around the side, well-spaced out.
Shells with a capacity above 150Kg should have five 6mm
holes in the base and six around the side.
2. The setting material should be vented using two
lengths of string or"spun yarn" tied vertically around the lin-
ers so as to make four vents, or for liners over 150 Kg capacity,
three lengths to make six vents.
INSTALLING THE LINER
1. Place a thick layer of Insulcast in the bottom of the
shell.
2. Bed the liner down firmly, squeezing the setting
material up the sides until the liner is level with the bottom of
the shell.
3. Ram more Insulcast down from the top all around,
so that the liner is firmly supported. The liner will rise during
ramming, and should finish up 3 - 6mm above the
top of the shell.

ASSEMBLY OF SALAMANDER LINERS IN STEEL LADLES
1. The refractory materials should be allowed to air-set
over night.
2. Dry thoroughly for several hours, by torch or in an
oven.
3. Seal the joint between ladle and liner around
the pouring spouts only, with 12mm depth of Salamander
Morcem 900 mixed with water to a putty consistency. Do not
seal the vents.
4. Thoroughly pre-heat cold ladles, as usual,
before use.
WARNING
It is dangerous to pour molten metal into a newly lined ladle,
which has not been properly dried.
New ladles should not be filled until all emission of steam has
ceased and the liner should be sufficiently hot to char a piece
of paper
