Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of injection molding machine material handling equipment, and in particular to a multi-purpose injection molding machine material handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale production of plastic products, injection molding machines have become core equipment due to their high efficiency and precision. However, the injection molding process does not only produce the final product, but also generates various waste materials such as gates, runner solids, flash, and defective products. Timely and efficient cleaning of these waste materials is one of the key aspects of ensuring the continuous, stable, and safe operation of the injection molding production line. Traditionally, the waste generated by injection molding machines has relied mainly on manual collection and processing. Operators need to frequently operate in the injection molding machine mold area, manually picking up or scraping away waste materials. Utility Model Content
