Abstract
An injection molding apparatus includes a plasticizer (A) for plasticizing plastic pellets. An accumulator head (B) includes a plasticized material receiving entrance (40) for receiving the plasticized material. A mandrel (14) is disposed centrally within the outer body such that an annular cavity (12) is defined therebetween. A ram assembly (16) is mounted in the annular cavity for longitudinally reciprocating motion therein. Reciprocation of the ram assembly urges accumulated plasticized material through a downstream die (C). The ram assembly includes an outer ram member (30), an intermediate ram member (34), and an inner ram member (36). The ram members define a first passage array (60) between the intermediate and outer ram members and a second passage array (70) between the inner and intermediate ram members. The first and second passage arrays are operatively connected with the outer body plasticized material entrance to receive plasticized material therefrom and are operatively connected with the outer body cavity to discharge concentric annular flows of plasticized material thereto.
