Valve gated stack injection molding apparatus with an upstream heated nozzle seated in a fixed mold platen and a downstream heated nozzle seated in a movable mold platen. The melt flows through a melt passage across a parting line from an upstream gate to an aligned downstream gate. A first elongated valve member is reciprocated between a retracted open position and a closed position in which the tip of the valve member is seated in the upstream gate. A second elongated valve member is similarly reciprocated between a retracted open position and a closed position in which the tip of the valve member is seated in the downstream gate. In the closed position, the faces of the tips of the valve members abut against each other along the parting line. One of the valve members has a vent bore extending diagonally from its face to avoid a piece of plastic film being formed from melt trapped between them in the closed position. |
