Take-out Inserts

GLASSMATE inserts are available as semi-finished blanks or can be precision machined to a specified finish. Inserts to fit your existing holders and POCO style holders are available from several graphite grades, depending on the pickup application. High strength grades should be used for thread transfer, under thread transfer, fine bead transfer with minimum clearance, or for long production runs. Economical grades are available for short runs or thick bead transfer applications. For closed mold pickup, bossed inserts machined with threads or finish profiles provide better clearance between the top of the mold and the take-out holder.

POCO maintains a library of standard finishes. Designers on staff work from customer provided engineering drawings to provide functional parts for individual applications. POCO can produce inserts to meet your mold or bottle requirements.
