Abstract: Ladling apparatus for a die casting machine includes a ladle assembly which is movable between a filling station wherein the ladle dips into a reservoir of molten metal and an emptying station wherein the molten metal is discharged from the ladle. A hydraulic, or pneumatic ram device is operable to move the ladle assembly between the filling station and the emptying station and a guide member guides the ladle assembly in its movement between the stations. The guide member and the coupling between the ladle assembly and the guide member is such that during the final portion of the movement of the ladle assembly into the emptying station the ladle assembly is tilted so as to pour the molten metal from the ladle.
