<p>A baffle sorting system for use with injection mold machines that produce different mold products from a plurality of mold cavities (50, 60) during the same production run whereby at least one baffle (30a-e) extends perpendicular to one plate (10) in a mold between two mold cavities (50, 60), and corresponding slot (40a-e) on the second plate (20) of a mold receives the baffle (30a-e) when both plates (10, 20) are coupled. When the product is ready to be ejected from the machine, both plates (10, 20) separate, but the baffle (30a-e) prevents the products of one mold (50) from intermingling with the products of a second mold (60). The products drop down into a collection device for further processing or packaging. Alternatively, the baffles are positioned between the A plate (10) and the B plate (20) during the ejection phase of the molding cycle, then retracted from the mold machine during the injection phase.</p> |
