An injection molding machine includes a base; a pair of platens supported by the base, the platens supporting respective mold halves to form a mold; and a part-handling apparatus for holding and treating articles from the mold, the part handling apparatus separate from the mold. The part handling apparatus includes a take-out plate including at least one set of first cooling receivers for receiving and retaining a first set of molded articles from the mold, the first cooling receivers conductively transferring a first amount of thermal energy away from the first molded articles; and a supplemental cooling plate comprising at least one set of second cooling receivers for receiving and retaining the first set of articles; and the second cooling receivers conductively transferring a second amount of thermal energy away from the first molded articles.
