<p>This invention relates to an improved heated nozzle probe for injection molding and an improved stack molding system in which it is used. Each nozzle probe has an inner helical shaped heating element which extends into the pointed tips and a separate outer one which does not. In addition to providing more heat to the pointed tip, this has the advantage that a standard unit can be used for various applications. In the stack molding system, two heated nozzles are arranged in alignment to bridge the parting line and the pointed tip of only the downstream one is heated. Combined with tapering the aligned gates to gradually increase in diameter in a downstream direction, this has been found to considerable reduce stringing and drooling problems as the mold opens for ejection.</p> |
