Abstract
This invention relates to a multi-cavity valve gated injection molding system wherein a continuous flow of hydraulic fluid through the actuating mechanism provides additional cooling. A pair of hydraulic fluid lines are drilled in the mold back plate to apply a minimum pressure differential across the cylinder chamber on one side of the piston. In the preferred embodiment, this pressure differential is also applied to opposite sides of a circular cooling chamber extending through the cylinder to provide additional cooling near a high pressure seal. Additional cooling is very advantageous to avoid system malfunctions and inferior product, particularly when molding high performance engineering resins at a high temperature.
