An injection apparatus is configured to feed a molten resin into an injection molding section of an injection stretch blow molding machine. The injection apparatus uniformly melts a resin material while the duration from the time of starting plasticizing and kneading till completion of injection is shortened, thereby allowing the operation of the injection apparatus to fall within the time corresponding to the reduced injection molding process in the injection stretch blow molding machine. Thus, the molding cycle for a hollow body is reduced. In this context, at the start of the filling for each injection cycle, the injection apparatus starts plasticizing and kneading for generating the molten resin for injection in the next injection cycle.

An injection molding machine includes: a first driving device rotating a screw provided inside a heating cylinder; a second driving device moving the screw forward and backward; a metering control section configured to, by controlling the first driving device and the second driving device, to meter resin while melting the resin, and thereafter rotate the screw in reverse to thereby reduce the pressure of the resin; a first sensor unit for detecting the pressure; a second sensor unit for detecting one or more kinds of physical quantities that affect the change of the pressure; and a prediction section predicting decompressing rotation information based on the pressure detected by the first sensor unit and the one or more kinds of physical quantities detected by the second sensor unit. The metering control section controls the first driving device based on the decompressing rotation information predicted by the prediction section.

A flange is formed on a heating cylinder in a vicinity of a center in a longitudinal direction and a predetermined joining plate adheres to the flange. A flange plate is provided on a support frame. The joining plate is fixed to the flange plate to attach and detach freely, and the heating cylinder is caused to be supported by the support frame. Accordingly, movement in an axial direction and rotation of the heating cylinder are restricted. A guide portion for positioning during attachment and detachment is provided on one or both of the joining plate and the flange plate.
