injection moulding – will this work?

Question by cool: injection moulding – will this work?
I was thinking using a 7 bar compressor line to pressurise a 100cm dia vessel containing molten plastic(using 165deg hot oil jacket for eg :PP material) and using a valve arrangement to discharge the molten plastic inside a mould which is primirarily evacuated using a vacum pump driven by the compressed air itself .
Further addition of resin inside the chamber is acheived by forcing raw material using piston driven by air at higher pressure.

My calculations says there would be a 55Ton of force applied to the plastic inside the vessel. And since the mould is in vaccuum there is no possibility for any air locks.

Will this system work like a normal 50 Ton injection moulding machine ? (or) will it be impracticable a solution ?

Well it is not clear the term valve, b/c valve type should be such no blockage taken place at that point. check out similar arrangement there should be needle valve is good.

It will work
