Abstract
In a method for injection moulding of the type wherein gas or vapor evolved from the resin being moulded is vent through a vent opening provided for a heated cylinder at an intermediate point thereof, the vent opening is maintained at a reduced pressure during metering and a small quantity of vaporizable liquid is admitted into the vent opening during injection for increasing the pressure therein.
Claims2
In a method of injection moulding of the type utilizing an injection moulding machine including a heated cylinder having a vent opening at an intermediate point between the opposite ends thereof and a screw rotatably contained in the cylinder and wherein the screw is rotated during metering but stopped during injection, the improvement which comprises the steps of maintaining a reduced pressure in said vent opening during the rotation of said screw, and introducing into said vent opening a predetermined quantity of vaporizable liquid at the same time when the rotation of said screw is stopped thus causing said liquid to evaporate to increase the pressure in said vent opening.
