ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improved integral manifold for a sprue gated multi-cavity injection molding system and a method of manufacturing the same. The manifold has an inner body portion which fits into a hollow retaining ring portion to define a circular peripheral space between them. The inner body portion is formed of a corrosion and abrasion resistant material such as stainless steel and has a number of straight melt ducts extending through it from a common inlet to spaced outlets each leading to a central bore in separate heated nozzles. The peripheral space contains an electric heating element surrounded by a highly conductive material such as copper. The manifold is manufactured by assembling the retaining ring portion on the inner body portion with the heating element in the space between them. A filler tube is located on the retaining ring portion in alignment with a filler duct therethrough and all the joints are sealed by brazing the assembly in a vacuum furnace. A copper slug is then inserted into the filler tube and the assembly is again heated in a vacuum furnace to cast the copper into the peripheral space around the heating element. This provides an integral unit with an improved combination of the characteristics of corrosion and abrasion resistance and thermal conductivity, as well as straight melt ducts which facilitate cleaning.
