IMS Delivers a New Option for Plastic Molding Maintenance: The IMS Screw Handler

CHAGRIN FALLS, Ohio - April 30, 2015 - PRLog -- IMS Company answers an industry need with its latest catalog addition: the IMS Screw Handler for injection molders and extruders. Designed off the end user needs of a rugged construction that is made to last, the Screw Handler is simply inserted onto a hot screw for safe and fast transfers.

The IMS Screw Handler promotes process uptime by enabling maintenance workers to quickly set the device over a hot screw and safely transport it for fixing, cleaning, or change outs. The Screw Handler’s contact points are made from brass, which safeguards expensive screws from marring, scratches, and dents typically seen when previously moving a screw by other methods.

“Transporting a screw can serve to be a tricky and sometimes dangerous process. The IMS Screw Handler prevents transportation damage of new or old screws, while also boosting safety for employees by increasing handling methods and decreasing chances of accidental contact with a hot screw. This is a must-have item for any molding shop’s maintenance area from its time saving, safety management, and risk prevention aspects.” -Steve Martini, Product Specialist at IMS Company
