摘要

In a system for transferring molded hollow plastic articles (18) from a mold (1,2) to a discharge location (11) and for cooling the articles (18) an intermediate station (9) comprising cooling pins (12) for cooling the group of the articles (18) arranged over the cooling pins (12) is provided. A robot (7) carries a take-out unit (5) for displacing a take-out unit (5) from the mold (1, 2) to the intermediate station (9) for releasing carried articles (18) at the intermediate station (9) and for engaging another group of the articles (18) at the intermediate station (9) and displacing the engaged other group of the articles (18) from the intermediate station (9) to a discharge location (11). The intermediate station (9) has at least one cooling cavity (31) for cooling the articles (18) received therein from the outside.
