Disclosed is an article carrier for use in a plastic article molding machine, the plastic molding machine having a first mold portion and a second mold portion. At least one of the first and second mold portions is reciprocally movable, with respect to the other mold portion, between a conjoined position, wherein at least one article of plastic can be formed in a cavity defined by the conjoined first and second mold portions, and a spaced apart position, wherein the at least one article of plastic can be released from the cavity into a gap formed between the first and second mold portions. A molded article retrieval apparatus includes the article carrier and a mover for moving the article carrier into and out of the gap, the alignment mechanism aligning the article carrier within the gap to permit engagement of the at least one article by the article carrier. The article carrier comprises at least one article receiver for each cavity, each article receiver comprising a sleeve defining a chamber into which one of the molded articles can be received. A piston is movably situated at an inner end of each sleeve and has a surface adapted to contact the molded article. A fluid actuator is coupled to the piston for displacing the piston so that any article within the chamber is displaced outwardly therefrom.
