Granulate hopper for horizontally and vertically injecting injection molding machines

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A mounting structure for the support of a granulate hopper on the injection unit of an injection molding machine by means of which the hopper can be selectively attached to a horizontally oriented injection unit and a vertically oriented injection unit, the structure comprising a vertical primary charge chute and an inclined secondary charge chute leading into the plastification cylinder and a direct at-, tachment of the hopper base formation to a primary horizontal mounting face of a horizontally oriented injection unit or an attachment of the same hopper formation to the horizontal upper face of an inclined hollow adapter post aligned with the secondary charge chute of a vertically …
