Painter1 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Have you guys seen the upgraded shooting star system and the air vise(s)? http://retail.ultramolds.com/category/ourmolds/ That really looks like some very innovative stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will tell u this Chris is available to answer any question you have.. It is not a Bears Shooting Star system except the injector. The pots, PID's, housing is all different.... Temp controllers and injectors are the same (except they are 3/4" now, the fill ports can be changed to accept a 5/8" injector if you ask for the parts) the pots are stainless 12qt pots sitting on a custom 2000 watt disc heater. What I like best about this is the fact that the injector now seals with an o-ring when filling (they have a new manifold for Bear's that uses the same fill port and o-ring to seal the injector as you fill) I've had this system running for a week now (have had it for a couple weeks total) and so far it's an animal. If you are getting this and plan to use it to it's potential then start stock piling plastic now, I've been able to run nearly 10 gallons through in a day.

Painter1 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 For what you are getting, I think the price is reasonable too. I have the Jacobs Injector Press and am very happy with it for the volume I do but I would love to set up a powered mold vice like those free-standing ones. I may contact him to see if he can make a custom model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFactorTackle Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm surprised more people haven't bought this system, looks pretty innovative to me. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgecrusher Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Its probably a bit too big for a lot of people. If I ever get large enough to have that demand I'll have one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFactorTackle Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I think your right edgecrusher!I talked to Chris at Ultra Molds today, he said they have a smaller system in the works, along with several other new molds and gadgets.

mark poulson Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 It is truly a remarkable system, at least to my hobby pouring eyes. I appreciate how they figured out how to heat the injector, and return the unused plastic to the pots with the injector. I'm sure there are lots of other neat things about it, but those are the things that stood out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 To me it fits a segment of bait makers very nicely. I think the main issue with the system is it doesn't really fit a lot of peoples production needs. Many pour more baits than they sell so while nice to have new toys hard to justify something that can help increase production for baits you don't need. Get to needing too many baits and the time you spend making lures is too costly and makes more sense from a business perspective to outsource the production.
