Progressive Components announces the recent expansion of its Extended Sprue Bushings line in a series called the Undercut Style.
Designed for use with three-plate molds, the Extended Sprue Bushings accept the machine nozzle and bring the material to a floating plate above the mold cavity. The undercut feature pulls the sprue and separates the material from the finished part to provide direct gating into single-cavity molds.
Progressive’s Undercut Style Extended Sprue Bushing is manufactured from 4140 prehard steel (28-32 HRC). Previously, mold builders had to create it as a custom component. Now, the Undercut Style is exclusively available as a quality part in the company’s line of Mold Base Components, providing mold builders with an off-the-shelf, standard option for single-cavity molds.
