Device and method for removing flash from blow-moulded articles

摘要

Device (10) for removing flash (5) from plastic articles (1) produced by blow-moulding, said flash (5) being connected to the blow-moulded article (1) by thin plastic bridges (6); the device (10) including at least one source of thermal energy (3), to convey thermal energy to the plastic bridges (6), so as to cause their melting and consequent complete separation of flash (5) from the article (1); the source of thermal energy (3) being mounted on a moving support (4), so as to follow the perimetral contour of the article (1). <IMAGE>
