Abstract
A molding system is disclosed that includes a plurality of cavity portions or core block assemblies attached to a mold plate and a plurality of core portion or core block assemblies attached to a second mold plate, and a plurality of stripper rings or thread split-slide assemblies attached to a stripper plate assembly. The stripper plate assembly includes a main stripper plate with one or more stripper plate panels coupled thereto that are translatable away from the main stripper plate during installation of at least the core portions or core block assemblies. The one or more stripper plate panels may be translatable to fold, outwardly swing, and/or slide relative to the main stripper plate to clear any core portions or core block assemblies that may have been previously installed.
