The IAP1 sprue picker

Entry-level price of under €2,000

To make production more economical, we have developed the low-cost sprue picker: it removes and separates sprue directly in the injection-moulding machine, eliminating costs for subsequent separation and other manual tasks. Thus, the investment pays off after only a few months.
