A stroke counter fitted with micro-switch is provided which stops the machine after 60 Jolts. Locating pins are provided for mounting the mould compartments on the table. The mould surmounted by the hopper can be clamped rigidly to the table. Supplied complete with mould and hopper. Suitable for operation on 230 Volts, Single Phase, A.C. Supply.
