Abstract
An apparatus to inject molten material into and evacuate gasses from a mold cavity, including a pair of ganged pistons in communication with the mold cavity. An injection piston injects molten material into the cavity from the bottom, and a vacuum piston pulls a vacuum in the cavity from the top through a vacuum line. A filter in the vacuum line catches any material that escapes from the mold cavity. A vacuum regulator may selectively regulate the vacuum in the vacuum line. During the injection sequence's first phase, a vacuum is created at a rate proportional to the rate of injection. Part-way through the piston stroke, a second phase is entered and causes a vacuum break valve to open and control the amount of vacuum. The injection sequence has a step function velocity, with the second phase being at a much higher velocity than the first.
