Abstract

Air that becomes entrapped in a closed mold cavity during the injection of liquid plastic material into the cavity is vented into the flowing liquid coolant of the mold to be exhausted therewith while leakage of coolant into the mold cavity during nonventing is prevented by maintaining the coolant at less than atmospheric pressure.
