Niigata Injection Molding Machine Niigata injection molding machine A Niigata injection molding machine, model NE85UA4, is used to produce test specimens. This machine has a 40 mm diameter single screw with a length/diameter ratio of 18. The lengths of the feed, compression, and metering sections of the single screw are 396 mm, 180 mm, and 144 mm, respectively. We have two molds. A single cavity mold is used to produce 3.2 mm thick, 13.1 cm diameter disks (end gated) that are used for shielding effectiveness tests. The second mold is a four cavity mold that is used to produce 3.2 mm thick ASTM Type I tensile bars (end gated), 3.2mm thick 6.4 cm diameter disks, 3.2 mm thick rectangular bars (12.6 cm long by 12.7 mm wide, end gated), and a small tensile bar.
