Abstract

A nozzle shut-off valve for an injection molding machine has a plunger mounted to reciprocate in a bore so as to block the passageway of the plastic through the nozzle, a single-acting pneumatic piston and cylinder to reciprocate the plunger, to block said passageway, and a pilot passage connecting the underside of the plunger to a location upstream of the intersection of the bore and the passageway for plastic through the nozzle.
