Model SD Automatic Ladler

The Model SD Automatic Ladler is designed to pour up to 150 pounds of aluminum along a fixed radius of 36 inches. The unit uses a fixed mechanical rotation of up to 140 degrees designed to your exact application requirements. A manual reach adjustment allows ± 4 inches of ladle movement. Speeds are set by manually adjusted hydraulic flow controls. An optional Multi-speed function is available for both the height and tilt to allow software controlled speeds throughout the automatic cycle. All actuators are located behind protective heat shielding and all bearings used on the ladle end are heat treated, nitrided, H-13 tool steel. The unit uses Shamrock's exclusive "NO PROBES" feature to sense metal level in the furnace. This unit is ideally suited for permanent mold and high-pressure die casting applications with a single furnace and single pour location. Pour weight is extremely consistent and adjusted manually. An optional shuttle base is available for reaching recessed pour locations.
