Resin supply system in which resin material is stored in a pouch in a degassed state ready for use. The pouch comprises a body portion forming a reservoir for resin material and a connector portion in fluid communication therewith. The connector portion includes an outlet which is configured to be connected to an injector head of an injector assembly, the injector head being connectable to a mould by means of connecting tubing to provide a resin supply thereto. The pouch is configured to be mountable in a housing of the injector assembly and is compressed by hydrostatic pressure of water surrounding the pouch in a chamber of the housing. The application of pressure by a piston moving in a direction transfers pressure to the water and then to the pouch in a controlled manner to provide the resin supply to the mould. After use, the pouch is removed and discarded thereby substantially eliminating the need for cleaning of the housing after use.

METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING MARBLED MOLDED PARTS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE DEVICE

Disclosed herein is a process for producing marbled moldings, where a first molding compound and at least one further molding compound are injected from an injection unit of a screw injection molding machine into an injection mold, where the injection unit includes a barrel, a screw having a screw tip and a nozzle where the screw is rotatable and is disposed in the barrel so as to be movable between a forward position and a backward position, with a smaller distance between the screw tip and the nozzle in the forward position than in the backward position, and where the first molding compound includes a first polymer compound and a first colorant, and the at least one further molding compound includes a further polymer compound and optionally at least one further colorant.

Further disclosed herein is an apparatus for production of marbled moldings, and a process for producing the apparatus.

Resin supply system in which resin material is stored in a pouch (120) in a degassed state ready for use. The pouch comprises a body portion (122) forming a reservoir for resin material and a connector portion (125) in fluid communication therewith. The connector portion includes an outlet (127) which is configured to be connected to an injector head (180) of an injector assembly (100), the injector head being connectable to a mould by means of connecting tubing to provide a resin supply (130) thereto. The pouch is configured to be mountable in a housing (110) of the injector assembly and is compressed by hydrostatic pressure of water surrounding the pouch in a chamber (115) of the housing. The application of pressure by a piston (150) moving in a direction (155) transfers pressure to the water and then to the pouch in a controlled manner to provide the resin supply to the mould. After use, the pouch is removed and discarded thereby substantially eliminating the need for cleaning of the housing after use.

INJECTION MOLDING TOOL AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING MARBLED MOLDED PARTS

Disclosed herein is an injection mold for production of marbled moldings, including at least one hot runner, a cavity, an entry opening into the injection mold and an inlet into the cavity, where the hot runner has at least two ducts that are connected at a first end of each duct to the inlet into the cavity and at a second end of each duct to the entry opening into the injection mold, where the at least two ducts each at least partly form a spiral, and the at least two ducts are bounded by a one-piece component. Further disclosed herein is a process for producing the injection mold and a process for producing marbled moldings.
