Remote feed stock unit for an injection molding machine

摘要

A stuffer device for supplying a substantially continuous stream of elastomeric feed stock in a fluid state to an inlet port of at least one injection molding machine is provided. The device comprises a feed stock advancing unit remote from an injection molding machine having a conduit associated therewith connecting the feed stock advancing unit to the inlet port of the injection molding machine and a controller for the feed stock advancing unit to provide a measured amount of feed stock to the inlet port commensurate with the needs of each injection cycle.
