ABSTRACT:
An injection molding apparatus which includes a check valve assembly mounted at the forward end of a feed-screw, the valve assembly having forward and rearward valve seat surfaces which co-act in a first position to allow a plasticized polymeric material to enter and flow through the valve into an injection chamber and which co-act in a second position to stop any additional material from entering the valve assembly. The second valve position is effected by a feed-screw injection stroke which generates a back pressure to close the valve, the back pressure moving a check ring of the valve assembly into a position to block entry into the valve. Part of the valve seat surfaces are covered with a plurality of ceramic disks and other valve seat surfaces are covered with a metal alloy which effectively increases the abrasion resistance of the valve seat surfaces and thus also increases the wear service life of the check valve assembly. Other wear surfaces of the valve assembly may also be coated for abrasion resistance.
