McIntyre Shark Ingot Casting Machine

Compact Aluminium Ingot Casting System

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

Developed in our own foundry and originally engineered for aluminium, our systems are proven in demanding secondary smelting environments. Our machines help metal recyclers, foundries and industrial processors convert scrap into high-value ingots with minimal waste — giving greater control over one of the most profitable stages of production.

The McIntyre Shark is a compact, space-efficient casting system, ideal for operations requiring reliable ingot production without the footprint of larger casting lines.

Efficient, Controlled Ingot Production

Built from high-grade steel and premium components, the Shark delivers long service life and dependable operation.

Its controlled pouring system is designed to minimise dross formation while ensuring consistent ingot weight and dimensions. Adjustable speed control allows operators to fine-tune production, improving both efficiency and output quality.
