Drool Protection

Even with attentive maintenance and routine equipment inspections, almost all injection molding machines occasionally extrude plastic drool, or “blow back.” Plastic drool has an unattractive name for a reason; it can lead to extended periods of downtime for cleanup or significant damage to equipment.

Drool Shields are suitable for a clean-room environment and PFTE coated to permit easy clean-up. Constructed from sturdy Air Craft Aluminum, Drool Shields withstand temperatures up to 700°F (370°C), making them a reusable, long-term solution for blowback at an affordable price. Protect your investments today with DroolShield by Big Chief.
