Collapsible Cores
Standard & Mini Collapsible Cores
Economically produce complex plastic parts
The Collapsible Core is a major breakthrough for molding plastic parts requiring internal threads, undercuts, protrusions
or cut-outs. The patented design incorporates only three moving parts, which utilize conventional mold movements.
The Collapsible Cores automatic operation makes it possible for you to produce parts that, previously, had been
considered impossible to mold. Parts with internal protrusions, dimples, interrupted threads and cut-outs can now be
economically produced on a high- or low-volume basis.
