Abstract
A method for producing gramophone records by injection moulding, comprises the steps of heating polymeric material to liquefy said material, supplying liquid polymeric material under pressure from a feed zone to a space between two mould parts via a nozzle. The liquid polymeric material is passed through a single passage located in one of the mould parts and forced under pressure through the nozzle into said space. Polyethylene terephthalate isophthalic acid modified copolymer is used as said polymeric material.

Method for producing gramophone records by injection moulding, comprising:
- heating polymeric material to liquefy said material, said polymeric material is polyethylene terephthalate isophthalic acid modified copolymer;
- supplying liquid polymeric material (2) under pressure by one single injection nozzle (11), into a space (7) between two moulding mould parts (3, 5) through a single passage (12) located in one of the mould parts (5) wherein said two moulding mould parts (3, 5) are disposed at a distance between 1 and 5 mm from each other;
- immediately after injection of the liquid polymeric material the mould parts are moved against each other creating a mould cavity having a shape of a gramophone record;
- wherein said injection nozzle (11) is provided with a nozzle piece (31) and an inlet opening (33) and a pouring channel (35) extending between said inlet opening (33) and said nozzle piece (31) such that the liquid polymeric material is provided with a single stream from the inlet opening (33) into the space (7) and does not split into sub-streams, and wherein said liquid polymeric material is supplied in a direction perpendicular to the moulding surfaces of the mould parts.
