Abstract
A molding installation for producing molded parts from plastic in which the molding compound is plasticized in an extruder unit and is introduced into the mold of a compression-molding unit by an injection unit. The extruder and one or more injection units are independent units arranged on a coordinate table. The extruder and injection units can be separated from and joined to one another such that one or more injection units can be releasably coupled to an extruder unit, then uncoupled from the extruder unit and moved toward one or more compression-molding units. Accordingly, two or more injection units can be filled using one extruder unit. Because the injection unit can be uncoupled from the extruder, only the significantly lower mass of the injection unit has to be moved in order to deposit the melt strand inside the mold, and thus it is possible to move the injection unit more quickly using less power. The small spatial requirements of the injection unit also make it possible to produce significantly smaller moldings.
