A method for producing a foam-molded product uses a producing apparatus including a plasticizing cylinder. The plasticizing cylinder has a plasticization zone, a starvation zone, and an introducing port which is formed in the plasticizing cylinder and via which a physical foaming agent is introduced into the starvation zone. The method includes: plasticizing and melting a thermoplastic resin into a molten resin in the plasticization zone; introducing a pressurized fluid containing the physical foaming agent having a fixed pressure into the starvation zone; allowing the molten resin to be in the starved state in the starvation zone; bringing the molten resin in the starved state into contact with the pressurized fluid having the fixed pressure in the starvation zone; and molding the molten resin into the foam-molded product. At least one pressure boosting part is provided in the starvation zone.

The present invention relates to an injection molded product, an expanded foam product, a method of injection molding a plastisol an expandable plastic embryo during which the foaming of the plastic embryo is suppressed throughout the molding operation. The invention further relates to a mold and an injection molding device.

A cylinder that kneads an injection material, a heat insulating cover that covers a side surface of the cylinder, the heat insulating cover including a first end portion and a second end portion, a heater arranged between the heat insulating cover and the cylinder, the heater heating a first region of the cylinder, and a first heat pipe that thermally connects the first region and a second region to each other, the second region being different from the first region, are provided. The heat insulating cover includes the first end portion and the second end portion through which the injection material passes, and the first region is closer to a midpoint between the first end portion and the second end portion than the second region.
