What are the different types of lead ladle? |
||||
Basic lead ladles |
||||
 |
Basic lead ladles are lightweight and usually right-handed. As the name suggests, this means that they are designed for use in your right hand. | |||
Precision lead ladles |
||||
 |
Due to their more compact size, precision lead ladles are designed for pouring small amounts of lead into moulds. | |||
 |
||||
Bottom pour lead ladles |
||||
 |
Bottom pour ladles collect molten lead, including any small impurities (dross) and pour only the purest lead from the spout.
They work well because lead is a heavy metal that sinks to the bottom whilst other lighter metals or impurities float on the top. |
|||
Casting lead ladles |
||||
 |
Casting lead ladles are made with two spouts, one on the right and one on the left, so that whether you are left or right-handed, you can pour easily. | |||
Lead dippers |
||||
 |
Lead dippers are specifically used for dipping into a molten lead pot to transfer the mixture to a mould. The small spout regulates the flow of lead so that it flows neatly into the small opening at the top of a mould. | |||
