Sprue picker: removing sprue from the injection-moulding machine and separating it

Automation is essential for optimising operating processes and ultimately for increasing competitiveness. There are many automation solutions in injection moulding processing. With the IAP1 sprue picker, we offer a cost-effective entry into the world of process automation. The picker grips laterally into the stripper and ejector moulds of injection moulding machines. Subsequent separation and other manual handling tasks are completely eliminated, allowing for more economical production. The picker is particularly suitable for the automation and retrofitting of small injection moulding machines and allows sprues to be removed and separated in the tightest of spaces.
