LXHTR launder insulation covers are designed to minimize heat loss, help maintain molten material temperatures, and reduce heat and fume escape during high-temperature transfer operations. Featuring a lightweight, arched, and modular construction, they offer effective thermal insulation and convenient handling.
Optional burner and oxygen lance ports allow compatible external equipment to provide additional thermal input when required.
Maintaining stable temperatures during molten metal transfer is essential for efficient smelting and casting operations. Excessive heat loss can increase the risk of premature solidification, while conventional concrete or steel covers are often heavy and difficult to handle.
LXHTR launder insulation covers feature a lightweight, arched construction combining heat-resistant stainless steel reinforcement with high-performance thermal insulation materials, such as ceramic fiber needle-punched blankets. Their modular, semi-enclosed design helps retain heat, limit uncontrolled fume escape, and simplify installation and maintenance.
For applications requiring additional thermal input, the covers can be equipped with optional burner or oxygen lance ports. These customized interfaces allow compatible external equipment to introduce additional thermal energy into the launder, supporting more flexible process temperature management.
Each cover can be customized in size, shape, insulation thickness, and interface configuration to suit different molten metal transfer systems.

For molten metal transfer processes where additional heating is required, LXHTR launder insulation covers can be equipped with customized ports for burners, oxygen lances, and other compatible process equipment.
These interfaces allow external equipment to introduce additional thermal energy into the launder while the insulated cover helps minimize heat loss.
Port dimensions, angles, positions, and reinforcement structures can be customized according to equipment requirements and operating conditions.

Every molten metal transfer system has unique dimensions, temperatures, and maintenance requirements. LXHTR offers customized launder insulation covers to accommodate different launder geometries, insulation needs, and process equipment.
Designed for straight, angled, and curved launder sections, with customizable lengths and profiles to match existing equipment.
Custom openings can be integrated for auxiliary heating equipment, burners, and oxygen lances, with suitable reinforcement and thermal protection around the interfaces.
Insulation materials, thicknesses, and reinforcement layers can be selected according to operating temperatures and thermal protection requirements.
Removable modules and optional access openings help simplify routine inspection, cleaning, and equipment maintenance.
Typical Applications of Launder Insulation Covers

LXHTR provides custom manufacturing support for launder insulation covers based on equipment dimensions, operating temperatures, and process requirements.
From material selection to modular cover design and special equipment openings, we work with customers to develop practical thermal insulation solutions for demanding metallurgical environments.
To prepare a suitable design and quotation, please share your launder dimensions or technical drawings, operating temperatures, application details, and any special requirements. On-site photos or videos are also helpful.
A launder insulation cover helps reduce heat loss during molten metal transfer. It supports more stable process temperatures, lowers the risk of premature solidification, and limits the escape of radiant heat and fumes.
Our covers can be designed for temperatures up to 1000–1200°C, depending on the selected materials and construction. Actual operating limits depend on exposure conditions and application requirements.
LXHTR covers use lightweight, multi-layer insulation structures instead of heavy solid cover plates, making individual sections easier to handle, remove, and maintain while providing effective thermal insulation.
Yes. We manufacture custom covers for straight, curved, angled, and complex launder layouts based on customer drawings, dimensions, or equipment requirements.
Yes. Optional custom ports are available for burners, oxygen lances, and other compatible process equipment. Port dimensions, angles, and positions can be designed according to operating requirements.
The covers themselves provide passive thermal insulation. However, optional ports allow compatible external heating equipment to introduce additional heat into the launder when required.
No. The semi-enclosed structure helps reduce uncontrolled fume escape but is not a fully gas-tight sealing system. Proper ventilation and fume extraction may still be necessary.
Yes. The lightweight, modular design allows individual cover sections to be removed for inspection, cleaning, and maintenance. Handling procedures should follow site-specific safety requirements.
