Ingot Stacking Machine: Intelligent Automation for Modern Metal Casting Operations

In high-volume metal casting operations, productivity doesn’t end with the ingot mold. After molten metal solidifies into ingots, these heavy blocks must be safely, quickly, and accurately stacked for cooling, packaging, storage, or transportation.
That’s where a modern ingot stacking machine becomes indispensable.
As a global supplier of metal heat processing equipment, we provide advanced ingot stacking systems that integrate seamlessly into casting lines for aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals. Designed for automation, durability, and export compliance, our machines are trusted by foundries, recyclers, and industrial smelters across the world.
What is an Ingot Stacking Machine?
An ingot stacking machine (also called an ingot stacker) is an automated device that picks up solid ingots from a conveyor or mold system and arranges them into neat stacks or bundles. This process:
Reduces manual labor
Improves safety
Increases line efficiency
Prepares ingots for strapping, palletizing, or shipping
A complete ingot handling line may include:
Ingot mold conveyor
Cooling station
Hydraulic arm or robot claw
Sensor-controlled precision placement
Optional: strapping and wrapping system
