An apparatus and method for making molded products for marine, automotive, recreational, and other applications. The apparatus and method for making the molded products generally includes a closed mold and an inline mixer for adding a catalyst to a filled resin. The method may include adding a cotton material to a resin to create the filled resin, adding a catalyst to the filled resin, and mixing the catalyst and the filled resin to create a catalyzed, filled resin. The method may also include adding the catalyzed, filled resin to a mold and allowing the catalyzed, filled resin to harden in the mold.

An injection apparatus includes a plasticizing portion configured to plasticize a molding material, a nozzle configured to eject the molding material, and a changing mechanism capable of changing an orientation of the plasticizing portion and the nozzle.

The invention relates to a polymer blend comprising 15 to 70 Wt. % of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and/or of a PVOH copolymer as well as 30 to 85 Wt. % of a further polymer, to a method for preparing a polymer blend, to the use of a polymer blend for producing a packaging material and to a packaging material. The packaging material obtained from the polymer blend is characterized in particular by a low gas permeability and can be produced by means of cost-effective methods.

The invention relates to a high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head for injection or casting reaction molding, said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head comprising a head body, a mixing chamber, obtained in the head body wherein a valve element or mixing valve slides and in fluid communication with a supply duct, and a self-cleaning element comprising a scraping portion, said self-cleaning element being structured to slide in said supply duct, as well as comprising an apparatus for controlling and commanding mixing, supply and recirculation comprising a plurality of sensors and transducers mounted on board of the head body and of the components parts of the head connected thereto to detect and transform representative physical quantities of at least one operational status of said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head into electrical signals and an electronic control and storing system adapted to synchronously control and scan said sensors and transducers and adapted to receive and process said electrical signals indicative of said at least one operational status, at the beginning and during the operational phases of said high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation head to compare them with each other and with electrical signals representative of a predetermined reference operational status. The invention also relates to a high-pressure mixing, dosing and recirculation method for injection or casting reaction molding.

An injection piston drives a screw. An injection hydraulic cylinder drives the injection piston and is partitioned into first and second chambers. A first oil discharge port is disposed in the injection hydraulic cylinder to be blocked by a piston part when the piston part of the injection piston advances to a pressure-holding switching position, and discharges hydraulic oil from the second chamber. A second oil discharge port is disposed in the injection hydraulic cylinder to be capable of discharging hydraulic oil from the second chamber regardless of the position of the injection piston. The injection piston has first and second members. The joint of the first and second members is disposed at a position separated from an end of the piston part on a side of the second chamber by a predetermined distance.

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.

A method of diagnosing a state of at least one component of a molding machine is performed such that a state of the at least one component is determined on the basis of a vibration measured at the molding machine. A drive unit of the molding machine accelerates and/or decelerates at least one movable element provided at the molding machine in such a way that the vibration is stimulated in a predetermined frequency range.

A semiconductor package molding device is provided. The semiconductor package molding device includes a chamber lower part which comprises a lower mold configured to receive a molding target, a chamber upper part configured to engage with the chamber lower part to isolate the inside of a chamber from the outside of the chamber, the chamber upper part including an upper mold configured to form a cavity with the lower mold, a first vent hole located between the chamber upper part and the chamber lower part, the first vent hole configured to discharge gas from the inside of the cavity after the chamber upper part and the chamber lower part engage with each other, a pot which is formed in the lower mold in the chamber lower part, a plunger configured to push up a molding material in the pot, a second vent hole which is formed in a side surface of the pot in the chamber lower part and a cavity vacuum pump configured to discharge gas through the first vent hole and the second vent hole.

The present disclosure provides an injection machine for a recycled plastic injection molding system. The injection machine comprises a supplying system configured to drive plastics from an entry end to downstream of receiving route, a heating system disposed to downstream of the supplying system and configured to melt plastics and drive plastics to the downstream of receiving route, and a buffer system disposed to downstream of the heating system and configured to be a receiving state and a supplying state. When the buffer system is in the receiving state, the buffer system is configured to receiving plastics from the heating system. When the buffer system is in the supplying state, the buffer system is configured to drive plastics to downstream of the receiving route.

An injection molding machine includes: a cylinder that holds a molding material to be injected into a mold; a plasticizing member provided in the cylinder so as to be movable and rotatable; a temperature measurer that measures a temperature of the cylinder or of the mold; and a period setting unit configured to set a cold start prevention period, which is a period for restricting the injection of the molding material into the mold, based on the temperature measured by the temperature measurer until a temperature of the molding material or the temperature of the mold rises. The period setting unit stores temperature-time data in which the temperature measured by the temperature measurer is associated with time, and adjusts the cold start prevention period based on an actual temperature of the stored temperature-time data.
