OTM-30A & OTM-30B
The OTM-30A and OTM-30B were designed to be the loading machine for companies large and small. These machines are designed to run at lower run rates and easy tooling conversions to make it more flexibly for the end user.
General Machine Specifications:
- OTM-160B NGF With Quick Change System.
- Magnetic Door interlocks for operator safety.
- Complete Guarding with 1/4″ polycarbonate windows.
- Stationary powder hopper for easy refill during operation.
- 5″ color touch screen.
- Physical Touch Buttons for easy operator interfacing.
- Optional Over all length check features.
- Optional Powder check features.
- 110V Power Requirement.
- 100 PSI Air Requirement.
- Mechanical indexer with sensors and alignment pin for true position repeatability.
- Foot Print: 48″ x 36″
- Weight 950 LBS
OTM-30A
The 30A is a single powder drop pistol cartridge loading machine with a max production capability of 60 parts per minute.
OTM-30B
The 30B is a dual powder drop rifle cartridge loading machine with a max production capability of 50 parts per minute.

Cartridge Loading Machine
OTM-3000LM
The OTM-3000LM comes standard with an OTM-300A feed system (a 30” feeder). OTM feeders have been proven in the industry to be safe, reliable and effective at keeping production rates up. The feeder is controlled on the main PLC and has low bowl indicators which let the operator know when the feeder needs to be filled.
The powder hopper is intentionally kept small to prevent injury if problems occur. The hopper is made from non-sparking materials that also help reduce risk of explosion. A powder delivery system can be arranged to be added to our machine; this is typically stored in a dry/blast room and transported to the machine.
To ensure that cartridges are assembled correctly, there are various checks that are done throughout the process to ensure an accurate finished product. Before the case enters the loading stations, the first dial has an inspection station to check for primer presents and mouth roundness. After the powder has been dispensed, there will be an optical check to validate the amount of powder was correctly installed. After the bullet is seated, there will be another optical check to validate whether or not the bullet is inserted to the correct length.

Safe, Reliable, and Effective
The OTM-3000LM comes standard with an OTM-240A feed system. This is a 24” feeder. OTM feeders have been proven in the industry to be safe, reliable, and effective at keeping production rates up. Feeder is controlled on the main PLC and has low bowl indicators which let the operator know when the feeder needs to be filled.
Powder hopper is intentionally kept small to prevent injury if problems occur. The hopper is made from non-sparking materials that also help reduce risk of explosion. A powder delivery system can be arranged to be added to our machine; this is typically stored in a dry/blast room and transported to the machine via vacuum tubes.
Quality Checks
To ensure that cartridges are assembled correctly, there are various checks that are done in process to ensure an accurate finish product. Before the case enters the loading stations the first dial has an inspection station to check for primer presents and mouth roundness.
After the powder has been dispensed there will be an optical check to validate the amount of powder was correctly installed. After the bullet is seated, there will be another optical check to validate whether the bullet is inserted to the correct length.
The continuous motion case feed system ensures we can run as fast as possible without damaging parts. This machine is equipped with a case feed system that drop the cases into the stations while the machine is in motion still.

Station Holder
Station Holder
The station holder has spring-loaded precision-made fingers that hold the case through the whole process. This eliminates the need to transfer between processes and stop machine at each process. Each station has a vertical and horizontal alignment bearing which keeps the station lined up with the tooling above. These stations are connected with heavy duty No.80 roller chain, there are just under 200 identical stations on the machine.
The below image shows the complete machine lay out with all of the stations and inspection points. The station travels in a counterclockwise serpentine path until it reaches the end where the loaded cartridge is ejected.
