Torpedo Car (Torpedo Ladle)
High Performance and Operational Safety
While torpedo cars – also referred to as torpelo ladles – typically serve as transfer containers, these key pieces of equipment are frequently employed in liquid metal treatments such as desulfurization and desiliconization.
These processes involve higher temperatures, higher metal/slag turbulence, and greater chemical attack, requiring high-quality refractory linings.
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ refractory linings have been supplied to customers in Europe, America and Asia. Customized, balanced lining designs are also available to address the specific type of wear prevalent in different torpedo ladle areas.

FAQ
Why do Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ ACS bricks offer such high thermal shock resistance?ACS bricks’ thermal shock resistance is due to a combination of carefully selected high quality raw materials designed to ensure the perfect thermal balance; and an engineered structure with a high degree of stress attenuation. This combination allows equipment to move through thermal cycles while suffering very little damage to its inner structure, ensuring a long service life.
