An injection molding apparatus that employs a stationary plasticating screw relative to feed port, non-reciprocal helical plasticating screw housed within an inner barrel that is coupled to a plunger head assembly, drive housing, motor and injection cylinders that is housed within an outer barrel/pressure vessel that conveys, melts, homogenizes and pumps polymeric plastic material precisely and efficiently along One axis. The helical plasticating screw is fixed in relative position within the inner barrel so that the material feed opening of the inner barrel and helical plasticating screw are aligned to accept pellets, powder or liquid of polymetric substance. The inner barrel is fixed to a plunger head assembly on the distal end that is housed within a pressure vessel with close proximity between the outside diameter of the plunger head and the inside diameter of said pressure vessel that upon screw rotation transfers polymetric material through the center passageway of said plunger head opening a normally closed one-way shut-off mechanism into said pressure vessel precisely for future displacement of polymeric mass into a mold or other. The apparatus and process of feeding, melting and injecting Polymeric material all occurs on one axis.
