Crucibles & Ladles

Isostatically pressed crucibles, engineered in Germany since 1875.

Overview

Through its exclusive partnership with Mammut Wetro GmbH, OPTES Group supplies German-manufactured crucibles and foundry accessories for foundry operations across MENA and Africa. The range includes clay-bonded graphite and carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles designed for heating systems and operating temperatures from 400°C to 1,500°C.

OPTES provides product supply and technical selection support to match the appropriate Mammut Wetro crucible to each foundry's requirements.

CRUCIBLES

Two isostatically pressed crucible types.

Clay-Bonded Graphite Crucibles

Isostatically pressed Mammut Wetro crucibles for foundry heating and melting applications within the confirmed operating temperature range of 400°C to 1,500°C. Final selection depends on furnace type, alloy, operating temperature, capacity, charging practice, and handling conditions.

Carbon-Bonded Silicon Carbide Crucibles

Isostatically pressed Mammut Wetro crucibles for foundry heating and melting applications within the confirmed operating temperature range of 400°C to 1,500°C. Final selection depends on furnace type, alloy, operating temperature, capacity, charging practice, and handling conditions.

What types of crucibles does OPTES supply through Mammut Wetro?

OPTES Group supplies two Mammut Wetro crucible types: clay-bonded graphite crucibles and carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles. Both types are manufactured in Germany using isostatic pressing and are designed for heating systems and operating temperatures from 400°C up to 1,500°C. The range spans from small cylindrical crucibles for laboratory scrap alloy analysis up to large-capacity crucibles with fill volumes up to 1,400 kg aluminium for automotive foundry applications.

How should I choose between clay-bonded graphite and carbon-bonded SiC crucibles?

The appropriate Mammut Wetro crucible quality depends on the specific operating conditions in the foundry. Key selection factors include furnace or heating system type, operating temperature, metal or alloy being processed, required capacity, thermal cycling, charging practice, and handling conditions. OPTES provides technical selection guidance to help customers choose between clay-bonded graphite and carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles based on confirmed Mammut Wetro product data.

What temperature range do Mammut Wetro crucibles cover?

Mammut Wetro crucibles are designed for operating temperatures from 400°C up to 1,500°C. Both clay-bonded graphite and carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles cover this confirmed temperature range. Final product selection should still be based on the specific crucible quality, furnace or heating system, alloy, operating practice, and capacity requirement.

What foundry accessories does OPTES supply alongside Mammut Wetro crucibles?

OPTES supplies Mammut Wetro foundry accessories including pyrometer tubes, ladle bowls, plungers, degassing tubes, stands, and launders. Pyrometer tubes are used for temperature measurement in molten metal.

How do I select the right Mammut Wetro crucible type and size for my foundry?

Crucible selection depends on furnace or heating system type, operating temperature, alloy being processed, required capacity, thermal cycling, charging practice, and handling conditions. OPTES specialists provide technical consultation to match the appropriate Mammut Wetro crucible quality and size to the foundry process. Contact OPTES for selection support across MENA and Africa.
