COMPRESSION MOLDING MACHINE

摘要

A compression molding machine includes a wheel (22) mounted for rotation around a horizontal axis and a plurality of angularly spaced molds (52) disposed around the wheel. Each of the molds includes a first mold segment (54) and a second mold segment (56) disposed radially outwardly of the first mold segment. At least one of the first and second mold segments is movable radially with respect to the other mold segments between a closed position for compression molding a plastic article, and an open position spaced for removing a molded article from the mold and placing a mold charge into the mold.
