  • Patent number: 11701807
    Abstract: A molding apparatus includes a mold comprising a stationary outer mold with a substantially tubular mold cavity, a moveable end mold with an end mold cavity alignable with the tubular mold cavity, and a stationary elongated mold core with a fluid channel therethrough, the mold core extending through the tubular cavity into the end mold cavity. A method of using the apparatus includes injecting a molding material at a material flow rate into the mold, moving the end mold at a speed in a linear direction from a first position to a second position, supplying a fluid at a fluid flow rate to the fluid channel, and varying at least one of the material flow rate, the end mold speed and the fluid flow rate as the end mold moves from the first position to the second position.

  • Patent number: 11433587
    Abstract: A method for producing components or profiles from at least one solidifiable plastic compound in an injection moulding facility, said method comprising stationary mould components and mould components which are movable with respect thereto. The method includes injection of solidifiable plastic compound into a channel formed in the movable mould components and, from there, via connections either in portions into one or more mould cavities. The channel is enclosed by at least one stationary, temperature-controlled mould component. A continuous channel compound strand is formed with attachment compound strands, which is transported away from the injection point with increasing cooling and solidification and increasing length, together with the filled mould cavities and mould cavity portions.

  • Publication number: 20200094460
    Abstract: A method for producing components or profiles from at least one solidifiable plastic mass in an injection moulding facility, said method comprising stationary mould components and mould components which are movable with respect thereto. The method includes injection of solidifiable plastic mass into a runner formed in the movable mould components and, from there, via connections either in portions into one or more mould cavities. The runner is enclosed by at least one stationary, temperature-controlled mould component. A continuous runner mass strand is formed with attachment mass strands, which is transported away from the casting site with increasing cooling and solidification and increasing length, together with the filled mould cavities and mould cavity portions. The runner mass strand, together with the connection mass strands, after its solidification and after opening the mould cavity or the mould cavities is separated from the component(s), and the component or the components is/are ejected.

  • Patent number: 7910044
    Abstract: A method and an injection mold for the production of profiled and at least partially elongated components out of liquid or viscous solidifying molding compounds, by said injection mold, the molding compound being injected into the mold cavity and transported away under steady extension of the mold cavity and under steady elongation of the component to be formed after the initial filling of the mold cavity. The molding compound transported away is transported out of the mold while molding compound is continuously being injected until the forming component reaches its final length. The mold has at least one mold insert whose surface is part of the peripheral surface of the mold cavity and which is supported in the mold in a movable way in longitudinal direction of the component to be formed so that the mold cavity forming the component can be expanded to the desired size and shape of the component inside and outside of the mold by a movement of the mold insert.

  • Publication number: 20070178245
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for bonding wood base elements to plastic, in particular for production of functional elements, by means of an injection-molding process in which the wood base element is inserted into an injection mold and, at the previously selected sites, plastics melt is injected and irreversibly changes the shape of the wood base element. The process parameters during the injection-molding process are set in such a way that the plastics melt forms depressions (2a, 15a, 32a, 41) acting in the manner of undercuts on the surface of the wood base element (2, 12, 29, 33).
