An apparatus and method for removing molded parts from a mold having cores arranged in at least two columns on a core plate. A pivoting part-removal device, preferably attached to the core plate between columns of cores, pivots parts from a column of cores to a chute located between columns of cores. The removal device has at least one pivoting arm with a part-gripping suction cup. The chute maintains an orientation of parts as they move along the chute. Parts from two columns of cores can be deposited in an interlaced arrangement into one chute. In one embodiment, the parts are translated as they are pivoted to facilitate the interlacing when the cores in adjacent columns are not staggered. In another embodiment, used when the part sidewalls are high with a low draft angle, the parts are moved straight off the cores a distance before pivoting them.
