You asked. We listened.

After putting our Mold Inspection Device to work in the field, we listened closely to customer feedback and made several improvements to make it even safer, more durable, and easier to use.

All new devices now include:
• A safety beacon and horn for increased awareness
• Added shrouding over the control panel and motor/gearbox to help protect against dust and the elements
• A redesigned rear support with a single lateral bar, providing better access while maintaining rigidity and strength

The best part? All of these improvements come at the same low introductory price.

Contact your Columbia Machine mold sales representative today to learn more.
