ABSTRACT:
Sprue gated injection molding apparatus for molding preforms or other products having two layers of a barrier material such as EVOH or nylon alternating between three layers of another thermal plastic material such as PET. The PET is injected by one injection cylinder into first and third melt passages which branch in a front melt distribution manifold to extend to a number of heated nozzles. The first melt passage extends through a central melt channel in each heated nozzle and the third melt passage extends through an outer annular melt channel surrounding the central melt passage to an aligned gate leading to a cavity. The barrier material is injected by another injection cylinder into a second melt passage which branches in a rear melt distribution manifold to extend to an inner annular melt channel extending between the central melt passage and the outer annular melt channel in each heated nozzle. A single control valve mounted in the first melt passage before it branches in the front melt distribution manifold allows separate control of melt flow through each of the three melt passages during the injection cycle.
