Abstract
An injection molding assembly configured for use with an injection molding machine includes a mixing chamber configured for receiving a flowable molding material and a nozzle assembly connectable to the mixing chamber. The nozzle assembly includes a cap removably connectable to the mixing chamber for enclosing the mixing chamber, and a nozzle extending through the cap and configured to deliver the flowable molding material from the mixing chamber to a mold. The nozzle is rotatable relative to the cap when the cap is connected to the mixing chamber. Also disclosed is an injection molding machine having a feeding device for feeding a flowable molding material, a mixing chamber configured for receiving the flowable molding material from the feeding device, and the nozzle assembly.
