An object is to manufacture molded bodies having a small variation among products even if the mixture amount of a metal powder is increased when molding is performed by directly introducing not only a metal powder but also a powdered resin into an injection molding machine.

In a metal powder mixed resin molded body manufacturing method for manufacturing a molded body by kneading a molding material including a metal powder, a thermoplastic resin powder, and an additive agent, molding is performed by an injection molding machine in which a molding screw is arranged. The molding screw of the injection molding machine includes a feeding portion, a compressing portion, and a metering portion that are continuously and integrally provided, the feeding portion and the compressing portion are constituted by an one-line spiral flight, the flight of the compressing portion includes a plurality of sub-flights that extend in a spiral manner in a screw axis direction and the sub-flights each have a polygonal shape with rounded corner portions, and the sub-flights are arranged such that the corner portions are shifted by a set angle in a circumferential direction about the screw axis, and the metering portion is provided with a plurality of blending/aligning portions each having gear-like protrusions and recesses in a circumferential direction about the screw axis.

An extruder for polymeric materials, includes: a hollow extrusion cylinder, having an inlet for receiving pellets of polymeric material, and an outlet for expelling molten polymeric material; an extruder screw connected to a motor to rotate inside the extrusion cylinder and to move the polymeric material from the inlet to the outlet; heaters coupled to the extrusion cylinder; a sensor system configured to measure values of a recipe parameter and of a monitoring parameter; a processing unit, programmed to store a target value for the recipe parameter and to perform a feedback control to bring the recipe parameter to the target value and to keep it at the target value.

An extruding system includes a mixing unit configured to mix a polymeric material with a blowing agent and to form a mixture, and an injection unit coupled to the mixing unit and configured to inject the mixture. The mixing unit includes a mixing cartridge, a first mixing screw and a second mixing screw, the first and second mixing screws are disposed in the mixing cartridge. A method of extruding a mixture includes mixing a polymeric material and a blowing agent in a mixing cartridge of a mixing unit by at least one of a first and second mixing screws to form the mixture; conveying the mixture from the mixing unit to an injection unit; and discharging the mixture from the injection unit into a molding device. The mixture is sequentially in contact with the first mixing screw and the second mixing screw.

An injection arrangement for a moulding machine includes a moulding compound reservoir and an injection unit. The moulding compound reservoir is configured to provide a plasticized mass and to push out the plasticized mass through a discharge opening, and a connecting device is coupled to the discharge opening of the moulding compound reservoir and a feed opening of the injection unit, and is configured to direct the plasticized mass from the moulding compound reservoir to the injection unit. The connecting device includes an articulated element, and a relative movement between the moulding compound reservoir and the injection unit can be performed with the articulated element.

A manufacturing apparatus for a molded product of a fiber-reinforced resin includes: a heating tube; a screw inserted in the heating tube; an injector provided on a front end side of the screw; a resin feeder configured to feed a matrix resin into the heating tube; a long-fiber feeder configured to feed a long fiber into the heating tube; and a short-fiber feeder configured to feed a short fiber shorter than the long fiber into the heating tube. The short-fiber feeder is closer to a rear end of the screw than the long-fiber feeder is.

The present invention relates to a volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying method and device by an eccentric rotor. The rotation of the eccentric rotor and the rolling of the rotor in the inner cavity of a stator during constant reverse revolutions cause the volume of the material between the eccentric rotor and the stator to periodically change alternatively along the axial direction and the radial direction of the stator, thereby enabling the volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying of the material. The volume pulsed deformation plasticating and conveying device consists of a stator, of which the inner cavity comprises multiple alternatingly disposed spiral segments and straight segments, and an eccentric rotor comprising multiple alternatingly disposed eccentric spiral segments and eccentric straight segments. The eccentric rotor is disposed in the inner cavity of the stator. The eccentric spiral segments and the eccentric straight segments of the eccentric rotor correspond one-to-one with the spiral segments and straight segments of the stator. The present invention can be used as the extruding system of an extruder or be combined with different plunger injection units to form a plasticating injection device of an injection molding machine. The present invention has a short thermo-mechanical distance for the materials, low energy consumption, and wide adaptability.
