A golf ball manufacturing apparatus comprises a mold including a cavity
for forming a golf ball, an injection molding machine for supplying a
molten resin to the mold, a supply portion for supplying a resin pellet
to the injection molding machine, and a crushing machine for crushing a
residue discharged from the mold, thereby fabricating a regenerating
pellet. The supply portion includes a main cylinder (11), a cylinder (13)
for a regenerating pellet and a cylinder (15) for a virgin pellet which
branch upward. An inclination angle (u) to a vertical line of the
cylinder (13) is equal to or smaller than 20 degrees. An inclination
angle (f3) to a vertical line of the cylinder (15) is 30 to 60 degrees.
The crushing machine is coupled to the cylinder (13), and the
regenerating pellet is transferred to the main cylinder (11) through the
cylinder (13).
