Adaptable injection molding installation mounting arrangement

摘要

An injection molding installation includes a box-like mounting base 1 on which are disposed a molding press 2 and a pressure injection apparatus 3. The press 2 includes fixed opposite end plates 4 and 7 mounted directly on the base 1 and an intermediate movable plate 5 slidably bearing on the base via an adaptor wedge A. The injection apparatus includes a motor driven rotary screw conveyor 18 and a plastics material feed funnel 19, and is removably mounted on the base 1 via an interchangeable support rail 22 clamped by internal cross bars 25 to the base or to intermediate spacer inserts 26 mounted thereon. The use of the adaptor wedge and interchangeable support rails enables the accommodation and mounting of molding presses and injection apparatuses having different sizes and configurations on a common and thus standardized mounting base.
