About our Pour Cups

High-performance ceramic pouring cups engineered for precision metal flow, reduced inclusions and reliable performance in demanding investment casting applications.

As a major supplier to the global investment casting industry, Anderman & Company provides a full range of ceramic pouring cups and filter cups used for mould intake, metal distribution and flow control during casting. Manufactured from high-purity ceramic formulations, our cups deliver consistent performance across ferrous, nickel aluminium, bronze and selected superalloy systems.

Applications

  • Investment casting mould intake
  • Molten metal flow control and distribution
  • Automotive, aerospace, IGT and medical castings
  • Ferrous, nickel, aluminium and bronze alloys
  • Single-hole and multi-hole hot-top boxes for bar stock production

Standard Materials

  • Alumina–silica composites (various grades)
  • High-alumina compositions
  • Other refractories available on request

For custom sizes, special dimensions, or unique features, please contact our team for a tailored solution.

FAQs

Your questions answered

What shapes of pouring cup do you supply?

Standard shapes include conical, shoe-shaped and cylindrical cups with pressed outer grooves for strong mechanical adhesion to the ceramic wax shell. Custom shapes with lifting holes and handling features are also available.

Can you integrate ceramic foam filters into the cup?

Yes. Filter-compatible pouring cups are designed with integrated fitment positions for ceramic foam filters — supporting cleaner metal flow into the mould cavity.

Which alloys are these cups compatible with?

Our cups deliver consistent performance across ferrous, nickel, aluminium, bronze and selected superalloy systems. High-purity and high-alumina grades suit the most aggressive alloy chemistries.
