Abstract: Tools of plastics processing machines are cooled over their surface and/or at particular points as soon as compound supply is finished. Heat is thus suitably withdrawn from the shaped compound, ensuring the fastest possible cooling and shortening cycle times. The invention relates to a closed, coolant-filled cooling system for tools of plastics processing machines having at least one compressor, a supply pipe, a tool region to be cooled and a discharge pipe, the supply pipe being connected to the outlet of the compressor and the discharge pipe being connected to the inlet of the compressor, while at least one open end of the supply pipe plunges into at least one bore arranged in the tool region to be cooled, and an open end of the discharge pipe is sealed to this bore. The supply pipe and the discharge pipe may be combined in a coaxial pipe with the supply pipe arranged in the centre and the discharge pipe enveloping the supply pipe.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling system for cooling a tool via cooling sites (6), these being composed of a capillary tube (64) associated with a supply pathway and of an expansion space (65) which is associated with a return pathway (41) and into which the capillary tube (64) leads, so that a coolant conducted in liquid form to the cooling sites (6) evaporates and is conducted away in the form of gas. A distributor block (1, 11), which can be connected to a coolant source and to a coolant sink, and into which coolant channels (3,31,4,41) have been moulded in at least one plane, has been designed so that it can be flanged onto a tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to compression injection plastic molding using a repository space, for the temporary storage of the molding material melt to prevent structural faults and reduce workpiece costs. The molten molding material is first fed into the repository space, whose volume corresponds to the volume of the mold cavity. When the injection process starts, the bottom of the piston aligns with the edge of the repository space and with the wall of the mold cavity so that a small amount of molding material melt reaches the mold cavity directly. The piston then slides into the cylinder. The repository space, which continuously becomes larger, is filled with a melted material at almost no pressure. The melt is conveyed into the plastic core until tho supply of the melted molding material is ended. The piston is then retracted, and the mold cavity is thus completely filled with molding material.
