Foundry Crucible Materials

• Silicon Carbide – Highly durable to the gas, oil and electric resistance furnaces; and high conductivity for your low frequency tilting induction furnaces.
• Clay Graphite – Ideal for high frequency tilting induction furnaces. Select applications in the precious metals market for gas furnaces.
• ProCarbon – A hybrid used for holding or low viscosity alloys.

Foundry Ladles

Our ladles were designed and built by foundrymen. They utilized real life experiences to develop innovative design elements for the ladles including:

• Double enveloping worm gears for greater strength with reduced backlash.
• Renewable Trunnion Bearing wear surfaces that eliminate shaft scoring for longer ladle life and smooth ladle rotation.
• Replaceable/Spare Ladle Bottoms on certain models for lower refractory costs and ease of maintenance.

Types of Foundry Ladles

• Process Ladles
• Transfer Ladles
• Pouring Ladles
• Custom Ladles

We also carry ladle parts & accessories.

Hi-Vac Industrial Vacuums

Industrial vacuum systems help provide a clean, safe environment for your workers while maintaining OSHA regulations. Midvale supplies high quality industrial vacuum systems that are used to clean up or transport a wide variety of wet and dry materials including aggregates, powders, sand, dust, slurries, and liquids. Our highly versatile industrial vacuum systems and loaders are used in a wide variety of applications and locations. Locations include power plants, chemical plants, glass manufacturing, cement facilities, foundries and various manufacturing facilities where safety, efficiency, recycling, environmental compliance, and effective material management are critical. Vacuums are available as portable or stationary systems.

Types of Material Removed: wood/sawdust, fiberglass, insulation, carbon black, lime, soda ash, fly ash, paper products, powdered clay, titanium dioxide, coal, sand, shot, cement, bricks, alumina, steel/aluminum chips, cullet, gypsum, and other heavy materials.

Each system can have one of three types of hoppers: End Dump Hopper, Bottom Dump Hopper or Intercept Hopper.

There are other equipment options for our industrial vacuums such as ladders, platforms, catwalks, wheels, trailers, explosion vents & proofing, control & safety items and different filter options.
