Injection molding apparatus provided with internal plasticizing capsule
Abstract
Abstract An injection molding apparatus of the type in which a piston moves a mass of material along a cylinder toward a nozzle and in which there is an internal plasticizing capsule within the cylinder which has a plurality of internal balls held in place therein so that the plastic material must be forced through the capsule and pass through the interstices between the balls, thereby thoroughly mixing the material and raising its temperature by friction to assist in plasticizing the same. The balls are held within the capsule in an arrangement which includes a large ball at each end of the capsule, there being an opening at each end, and a ring of smaller balls holding each large ball in place, the capsule being removable from the cylinder and capable of being disassembled to release the balls and permit ready cleaning.
