Refractory Materials for Steel Ladles

Ladles are essential units in steel production, where handling molten metal places extreme demands on refractory materials. High temperatures, temperature fluctuations, chemical stress, and mechanical wear require high-quality solutions that ensure process reliability and long-lasting performance. 

At Betker, we have strong expertise in monolithic ladle solutions, which we tailor to customer-specific needs and production requirements. Ladle linings can be installed fully or partially using refractory mixes or elements, depending on the process. 

Tailored Ladle Solutions for Your Process 

Our ladle lining solutions are carefully designed to meet the requirements of molten metal handling. Our wide selection of monolithic mixes and components guarantees durability and efficiency—even under the most demanding conditions. 

Complete ladle lining materials from one supplier: 

  • Wear lining castables – Withstand high temperatures and chemical stress
  • Insulating mixes – Improve temperature control and energy efficiency
  • Back filling mixes – Protect against leakage and enhance structural longevity
  • Bricked backlining – Optimize thermal balance and provide safety layer
  • Lip blocks – Durable high mechanical wear-resistance solutions
  • Precast elements – Reliable protection for sidewall and bottom structures

In cooperation with our partners, we also offer comprehensive lining packages that combine monolithic mixes and brick linings—fully tailored to your needs.
