Abstract
An injection arrangement for a moulding machine includes a moulding compound reservoir and an injection unit. The moulding compound reservoir is configured to provide a plasticized mass and to push out the plasticized mass through a discharge opening, and a connecting device is coupled to the discharge opening of the moulding compound reservoir and a feed opening of the injection unit, and is configured to direct the plasticized mass from the moulding compound reservoir to the injection unit. The connecting device includes an articulated element, and a relative movement between the moulding compound reservoir and the injection unit can be performed with the articulated element.
