Pouring Cups

Innovac’s Pouring Cups are engineered to provide seamless and contamination-free metal delivery into molds. Serving as a transition component between the ladle and the gating system, these cups ensure that the molten metal stream remains smooth and steady throughout the pour.

Manufactured using ceramic-bonded refractories, our pouring cups are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and chemical attack from slags or oxides. Each unit is shaped using precise molds to maintain consistent wall thickness and reduce internal stresses that can develop during preheating or casting.

Their design helps eliminate splash and turbulence in the mold cavity — both of which are major contributors to casting defects like inclusions or cold shuts. By using Innovac’s pouring cups, foundries can achieve better surface finishes and dimensional stability in their final cast parts.

We also offer coating options that enhance non-wettability, ideal for aluminum and copper-based alloys. This reduces sticking and simplifies post-casting cleanup, improving productivity and yield.

Innovac works closely with mold designers and tooling specialists to ensure each pouring cup integrates smoothly with gating components. Whether you're using sand molds, ceramic shell systems, or advanced 3D-printed molds, our team can provide a compatible solution.
