Nozzle Function:

The resin injection pressure opens the valve. Resin flows freely through the nozzle without shearing. When injection pressure is removed, the valve closes and seats.


With gas assist, when gas pressure is applied it forces the resin into the mold, preventing gas from entering the injection barrel.
