Coinjection molding of preforms for multi-layer containers

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A multi-cavity injection mold (1), for simultaneously injection molding a plurality of multi-layer articles having a single hot runner manifold system (19) for the sequential supply of first and second molten molding materials to the cavities (3) of the mold with each of the materials being supplied simultaneously to all cavities in equal quantities. The invention also provides a core rod (5) for each cavity in which a concavity is provided adjacent the entry point of the materials into the cavity to prevent, the first injected material in an injection cycle from being washed from the end of the core rod by the second injection material a, buffer of the first injected material in the neck …
