In the production of sun visors or bicycle helmets, for example, so-called inserts are to be placed manually in the mould. In order to make this process easy, fast and safe for the operating personnel the Shuttle Technology was developed.

 

The inserts can either be covered with foam on one side only (bicycle helmets) or covered completely to achieve a form-fitting connection. Head rests or collision-protective side cushions in the automotive industry open more fields of application for EPP.
