  • Patent number: 11117297
    Abstract: A reconfigurable melt delivery system is disclosed for use with a first injection unit and a second injection unit. The reconfigurable melt delivery system may include a first arm manifold configured to receive a moldable material from a second injection unit, an exchangeable second arm manifold in fluid communication with the first arm manifold that is configured to receive the moldable material from the first arm manifold and to transfer the moldable material to an outlet nozzle, and a repositionable and replaceable insert plate configured to be repositioned or replaced relative to remaining plates of the melt delivery system, wherein the outlet nozzle is secured within a mold facing surface of the insert plate and is radially offset from a central machine nozzle opening of the melt delivery system for delivering the moldable material to a corresponding offset mold gate of a two-material mold.
