In-Mould Air Ejector
1Pages

The in-mould air ejector is designed to be fitted into a composite or a metal mould. It provides an efficient method of removing cured mouldings without the mould damage associated with wedges or mechanical force. The valve is designed to provide maximum air-flow with the minimum of interference with the mould surface. The 17mm flush end surface is considerably smaller than most other units currently available. The high opening force created by the larger integral piston at the rear of the valve ensures reliable and powerful operation. The valve is machined from steel and is treated to provide a hardened and corrosion resistant surface. The valve terminates in a standard metric thread and so can be threaded into the mould structure and is easily removable. A threaded metal insert is included for bonding into composite moulds. The closing force is provided by an internal spring but air pressure can be applied if working against high in-mould pressures. Both air connections are positioned in the end-cap surface to enable easy access once installed. The valve is operated remotely by a pneumatic push-button switch connected via 6mm pipes and fittings (Part No. XE-0021). A single push-button may be used to operate multiple ejectors.
