An injection molding apparatus includes a melt furnace and a metal supply system located in the melt furnace. The metal supply system includes a pump. The injection molding apparatus also includes a first metal inlet from the melt furnace to the metal supply system and a vertical injection mechanism adapted to inject liquid metal into a die system. The injection molding apparatus also includes a second metal inlet from the metal supply system to the vertical injection mechanism.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing metallic parts by die casting

A vertical injection machine and method for injecting liquid metal. The machine includes a metering chamber, a vertical injection chamber, and a first conduit connecting the metering chamber to the injection chamber. The height of liquid metal in the metering chamber determines the volume of metal in the injection chamber.

Vertical injection machine using gravity feed

A vertical injection machine having a first chamber for supplying liquid metal, a second chamber located lower than the first chamber and a first conduit connecting the first chamber to the second chamber. The first conduit has a shutter rod disposed within and a valve head attached to a lower portion of the shutter rod. The valve head is adapted to seal a lower portion of the first conduit. A metering rod is disposed within the second chamber. The vertical injection machine also includes a vertically oriented third chamber and a second conduit connecting the second chamber to the third chamber. An injection rod is disposed vertically within the third chamber and a injection nozzle is located at an upper portion of the third chamber.
