Abstract

A nozzle for the injection of liquefied plastic material into the gate of a mold cavity has a tubular metallic body forming a sprue, the outer surface of this body being in contact with an annular heater in the shape of a closed shell whose interior is filled with a matrix of compacted MgO powder having one or more resistance wires embedded therein. The heater is held in position by a nut, threaded onto a gate-side extremity of the body, against a shoulder or a tapering surface portion thereof and is separated by an air space from a surrounding supporting structure.
