McIntyre Colossus Ingot Casting Machine

High-Capacity Industrial Ingot Casting System

At JMC Recycling, we design and manufacture high-performance McIntyre ingot casting machines built for durability, efficiency and real-world production environments.

Developed in our own foundry and proven in demanding applications worldwide, the McIntyre Colossus is our largest and highest-capacity casting system, engineered for continuous, large-scale ingot production.

Maximum Output. Proven Reliability.

The Colossus has been designed to deliver trouble-free alloy production at scale, making it ideal for high-volume smelting and processing operations.

Unlike standard systems, this machine is built from real foundry experience. We don’t just design these machines — we’ve used them ourselves — ensuring reliability, consistency and long-term performance in demanding environments.

Engineered for Large-Scale Production

The system uses a controlled pouring wheel to deliver molten metal into moulds with precision, ensuring:

• Consistent ingot weight and shape
• Reduced dross formation
• High throughput with minimal interruption

Advanced cooling combines air cooling fans and water spray systems, maintaining production efficiency even at high output levels.
