Safely Secure Parting Lines
Mold Safety Straps
Progressive’s new Safety Straps offer a safe, assured securing of parting lines during mold transportation and storage.
Straps are designed to not shear the bolts and instead feature an engineered break point. This allows for an easy replacement of the strap versus moving the mold base before machining-out the sheared bolt.
Safety Straps are available in three sizes with equivalent dimensions and strength ratings as previous standards.
