Every pour depends on what happens before the metal ever leaves the ladle.
Dri Ladle Sands manufactures high-purity chromite and silica ladle filler sand for foundries and steel mills, processed and graded in-house to the tight tolerances that continuous casting demands.
When your sliding gate opens clean and your nozzle stays clear, that’s ladle sand doing its job — and it’s the only product we make.

What Ladle Sand Actually Does
DRI Fill, our ladle sand, sits in the nozzle and sliding gate system of a steel ladle before the pour. It stops molten steel from contacting — and welding shut — the gate mechanism, then falls away cleanly the moment the gate opens.
We switched to Dri Ladle Sands after one too many delayed gate openings with our old supplier. Since then, tap-to-tap times have been consistent and we haven’t had a single sand-related hold-up on the floor. It’s one less thing we have to worry about on a heat.”
