Zero Vortex (OV) Pour Cups

One of the concerns for quality minded metal casters is re-oxidation inclusions caused by the entrapment of air during the casting process. A concentric pouring basin can cause a vortex effect which will suck excess air into the mold during the pour. The resulting defects may need to be welded or repaired before the casting becomes acceptable to the customer.

ICP has developed the OV pour cup for these applications. By incorporating a flat sided inlet design, the OV pour cup minimizes the vortex effect. All ICP F-Style pouring cups can be made with this flat sided design while maintaining a round outlet designed to mate with ICP tubes.

An additional advantage of the ICP OV pour cups is that the anti-swirl effect causes a faster feed rate. The quicker feed rate allows the use of a smaller size pour cup since excess fill height is not needed to maintain adequate feed rate.

• No Vortex/Anti Swirl
• Minimize Inclusions
• Faster Feed Rates
• Round Outlet
