An application unit (13) comprises a rotation unit (26) and a support unit (27). The rotation unit (26) comprises a nozzle unit (28), a nozzle support part (29), a body base (30), a first supply part (31), a second supply part (32), a third supply part (33), a valve (34), and a motor (35). The nozzle support part (29) rotatably supports the nozzle unit (28) such that the central axis of the nozzle unit (28) is inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the rotation unit (26).

The disclosure relates to an injection nozzle (1) suitable for injection molding of thermoplastic materials, in particular polyolefin materials, the injection nozzle (1) comprising a housing (2) comprising a sleeve-shaped rear section (3) and a thereto coaxially arranged sleeve-shaped front section (4) surrounding a central passage (5) extending in an axial direction (z) forming part of a melt channel (6). In the central passage (5) a needle (7) is arranged movable in the axial direction (z) between a retracted open position and an extended closed position in which a gate (8) at a tip (9) of the front section (4) is closed by a front end (10) of the needle (7) in a sealing manner. A spacer (11) is arranged between the rear section (3) and the front section (4) defining a total length of the housing (2) in the axial direction (z).

An injection molding machine includes a machine base extending lengthwise along a machine axis. The base has a platen support portion extending along a first axial portion of the base, and an injection unit support portion extending along a second axial portion of the base. The machine further includes a platen supported by the platen support portion for carrying a mold half apparatus. The machine further includes a first injection unit supported by the injection unit support portion for discharging a first melt through the platen into a first mold inlet of the mold half apparatus, and a second injection unit supported by the injection unit support portion for discharging a second melt around the platen into a second mold inlet of the mold half apparatus.

A method, apparatus and press for the injection moulding of plastic material by a plurality of injectors connected to a distributor and provided with respective obturators movable between a closing condition and an opening condition in a controlled fashion. The injection pressure in the distributor is maintained substantially constant by an actuator which actuates a screw of the injection press, from a start of a filling step up to an end of a packing step of the plastic material into a cavity of a mould. A moulding cycle is entirely controlled by each injector, by managing the position/velocity/acceleration of the respective obturator, without affecting the other injectors.

A method for the production of plastic parts, in particular of composite parts, utilizes at least two components to be mixed in a mixing chamber and a cavity formed between a first and a second mold half of a molding tool. The cavity comprises a mold part section and a sprue section, and the sprue section or the mold part section is used as mixing chamber.
