Apparatus for vacuum assisted venting

摘要

A method and apparatus for vacuum assisted venting of an injection mold. The apparatus includes a main body (20) structured to be mounted around an outer circumference (210) of the injection mold (200) and configured to facilitate application of a vacuum pressure therein. The method and apparatus are particularly directed towards preventing the accumulation of residual material inside an injection mold and reducing the frequency of disassembly and cleaning required for the injection mold.
