Abstract
A method of simultaneously effecting the initiation, flow and termination of flow of corresponding melt streams of polymer materials from a plurality co-injection nozzles of a multi-co-injection nozzle injection molding machine to form a plurality of multi-layer injection molded plastic articles. A melt stream of polymeric material for each layer is provided and feed along an equal flow path to each nozzle using a common pressure source for each stream of a given polymeric material which is to form a layer in more than one article. A valve means effects the initiation, flow and termination of the flow of material simultaneously and identically in each nozzle.
