PVC pipe fittings are one of the most commonly used connector in the drainage project and a cold runner designed mold is the most economic solutions for the production of the PVC pipe fittings, but the removal of the runner in result is a labour intensive work. Is there any economic way to remove the runners from the PVC pipe fittings automatically?

PVC Pipe Fittings Runner Cutting Solutions

For the producer of PVC pipe fittings the most economic soluton to remove the runner is with an Air Nipper fixed to the picking robot immediately after the PVC pipe fittings picked out from the mould. The robot will drop the seperated pipe fittings and runner to different containers. Below configuration of SWITEK runner cutting solution for 16 cavities PVC pipe fittings for your reference:

• Injection Molding Machine: HaiTian MA4500
• Picking Robot: SWITEK SW6712S 3 Axis Servo Injection Robot
• Mold Design: 16 Cavities
• Air Nipper: 4pcs
• Cycle Time: 60s

The Air Nipper runner cutting system is an easy to start solution for the producers of PVC pipe fittings, which the Air Nipper would be controlled by the picking robot and is the best solution for the small size PVC pipe fittings (with a diameter around φ25mm). Anyway it also must be custom made according to the mold design.
