An apparatus for injecting a molten plastic material into a mold is described. The apparatus includes a heated manifold (manifold) with channels to distribute molten material inside it, and a heated injector, to inject molten material to the mold cavity, equipped with a translatable shutter to regulate the flow of the injected molten material.

An actuator is attached to the manifold to receive molten material from it to send to the injector and move the shutter. The actuator includes a piston connected to the plug, and a first conduit to bring a pressurized fluid from the outside to the piston. A plate includes a second internal conduit to bring pressurized fluid to the injector, where a gap separates the plate and the actuator.

A connecting member is mounted to cross the gap and carry pressurized fluid from the plate to the actuator.

In one aspect, there is provided an injection molding system configured to operate in a plurality of cycles. The system comprises, amongst other things, a controller that is configured for performing a comparison of a variable pressure setpoint with a target pressure value. The controller is configured to, when the target pressure value is less than the variable pressure setpoint by at least a predetermined lower bound, (i) decrease the variable pressure setpoint to a reduced variable pressure setpoint and (ii) not further decrease the variable pressure setpoint from the reduced variable pressure setpoint until the pump assembly operates for a plurality of stabilizing cycles at the reduced variable pressure setpoint.
