What is presented is a mold support structure in a single dual injection molding machine for plastic part formation having at least two injection units. The mold support structure comprises at least one pair of platens located on opposite sides. Each pair of platens is separated by a plurality of reinforcement structures that provide support in the direction in which clamp and injection pressure is applied to the pair of platens during plastic part formation.

An injection molding device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first mold including a first injection port through which a raw material is injected; a second mold including a heating member; a first movable mold facing the first mold or the second mold and having a first cavity formed therein; and a second movable mold facing the first mold or the second mold and having a second cavity formed therein, wherein the position of the first movable mold and the position of the second movable mold can be changed.

What is presented is a method of forming a closure with a sealing gasket in an injection molding machine that has a center rotating cube. The center rotating cube comprises a plurality of mold back halves each comprising cores and a thread unscrewing mechanism. Each core is shaped to form a closure that has a thread and an anti-rotation feature. The method comprises the steps of forming a closure with a through hole, rotating the core to create a gap between the formed closure and the core, and injecting a compressible material through the through hole and into the gap to form a sealing gasket.

A system for forming injection molded articles includes a turret, a first mold unit, and a second mold unit. In an embodiment, the turret includes a plurality of core plates and each core plate includes a plurality of core pins. The first mold unit may be configured to form an inner injection molded layer, and the second mold unit may be configured to form an outer injection molded layer over the inner injection molded layer. In an embodiment, the first mold unit and the second mold unit are configured to mold at the same time, and to provide opposing clamping forces. Processes involving over-molded articles are also disclosed.

Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.

A method for forming a part in an injection mold, includes: heating a molding material to a molding temperature; injecting the molding material through a gate and into a molding cavity of the injection molding apparatus of any of the preceding claims; pressing the stationary half and the moving half together to form the molding cavity between the resin mold surface and the insert molding surface; moving the movable mold insert, and thereby moving the insert molding surface and adjusting the molding cavity shape, the molding cavity depth, the molding cavity volume, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing along at least a portion of the molding cavity; cooling a surface of the molding cavity with the cooling system; separating the resin mold surface and the moving half mold surface; and ejecting the part from the injection molding apparatus.

An injection molding device (1) includes a center part (3) and a rotating device (2) for rotating the center part (3) in the injection molding device (1). The rotating device (2) includes a base (4) supported with respect to an injection molding machine. A thereto attached column (5) extends in an axial direction (z) above the base (4). A sleeve (6) coaxially surrounds the column (5) and is at least partially arranged in the center part (3). The sleeve (6) rotates with the center part (3) around the column (5). The column (5) is arranged removable with respect to the center part (3).

A method for producing a composite part. According to the method, a substrate is provided, the substrate having an integrated mixing portion for mixing a component system close to the substrate. The substrate provided is introduced into a cavity of a coating tool in an additional step. The substrate is then coated by flooding the cavity with the component system. The component system is mixed inside the cavity by means of the mixing portion of the substrate.

An injection molding method includes providing a molding device including a first mold, a second mold over the first mold and a first mold cavity defined by the first mold and the second mold; injecting a first material into the first mold cavity; forming a first layer from the first material; replacing the second mold by a third mold; injecting a second material into a second mold cavity defined by the first mold and the third mold; and forming a second layer from the second material disposed over the first layer, wherein the first material is different from the second material.

Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.
