An apparatus and process are provided for molding articles such as animal
chew toys by providing mold cavities in series. Plasticated resin may
flow through a runner system and gate to substantially fill a first
cavity and then through a sub-gate to fill a second cavity of which may
include a shape that is similar to the first cavity shape. This may
result in substantially reduced offal, e.g. trim waste, in the molding
process.
