Abstract
Apparatus and systems for finishing molded articles, such as fragile starch-bound articles, having flashing or other extraneous mold material attached thereto. The containers are conveyed from the mold apparatus to the flash removal system, which preferably includes a first flashing removal subsystem that involves cutting and a second flashing removal subsystem that involves abrading. The first removal subsystem cuts or slices off all, or substantially all, of the flashing without damaging the molded article. The second removal subsystem sands or abrades any remaining nubs or protrusions not removed by the rough removal subsystem. The removed flashing is preferably recycled to a mold material feed stream in order to provide material inputs for producing new molded articles.
