摘要:
A screw extruder is presented including a feed hopper for receiving materials and a body member having at least one supply port and at least one outlet port. The screw extruder also includes a screw positioned within the body member and movable along a channel defining a longitudinal axis. The screw extruder further includes a drive shaft for rotatably driving the screw along the channel. The screw extruder may be configured to mix the materials received via the feed hopper with a series of one or more forward, neutral, and reverse kneading elements.

A plasticating screw for an extruder or an extrusion press has a thread change, whereby the volume of the transporting cross-section does not change and thus a pressure increase in the region of the thread is avoided. To this end, in the region wherein a first and a second screw thread of the plasticating screw overlap, the thread width outside the overlapping region is equal to d and the thread width inside the overlapping region is equal to ½ d.

For the production of extrudates of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, finely divided polyethylene or polyethylene powder is introduced into the cooled feed zone of a single-screw extruder and compressed therein, melted in a transport zone of the extruder and discharge with shaping of the extrudate and cooling. The polyethylene is processed in the transport zone using a velocity gradient of from 50 to 1,000 sec.sup.-1 in the radial play between the screw and the extruder barrel, heated to 180.degree.-280.degree. C. and then transferred to a screw-free zone in which final shaping of the extrudate is effected.

Extrusion apparatus and methods for use in the design and operation of extrusion screws having multiple channels. In response to rotation of an extrusion screw in an extrusion process, the multiple channels of the extrusion screw can control the temperature, pressure, and/or shear rate of feedstock material flowing through the respective channels. The multiple channels of the extrusion screw can be configured to control the temperature, the pressure, and/or the shear rate of the processed feedstock material by being modeled as one or more model objects having one or more predetermined geometries. The models of the respective channels can then be analyzed using computerized analytical and/or numerical techniques in order to obtain at least estimates of desired temperatures, pressures, and/or shear rates of the processed feedstock material, based at least on specified channel lengths, channel widths, and/or channel depths of the respective channel models.

An extruder screw includes an extruder shaft and at least one extruder segment The extruder shaft has a prismatic mandrel having external teeth and a longitudinal mandrel axis. The extruder segment has internal teeth and a longitudinal internal-teeth axis and can be slid onto the mandrel, such that the extruder segment can be connected to the mandrel for rotation therewith. The internal teeth have a profile having a meshing profile and, in an inner area between the first and second end faces of the extruder segment, include a prismatic main profile that has a main cross-section. Furthermore, the internal teeth of the extruder segment have an edge profile adjacent to at least one end face of the extruder segment, which edge profile has a smaller edge cross-section than the main profile at least in the area of the meshing profile.

The aim of the invention is to provide a plastifying screw provided with a thread change, for an extruder or a forcing machine, whereby the volume of the transporting cross-section does not change and thus a pressure increase in the region of the thread is avoided. To this end, in the region wherein a first and a second screw thread of the plastifying screw overlap, the thread width outside the overlapping region is equal to d and the thread width inside the overlapping region is equal to ½ d.

A foam extrusion assembly having a melt region wherein a plurality of material pellets are melted and mixed by a mixing assembly with a blowing agent introduced via an agent addition assembly. The foam extrusion assembly further includes a heat extraction region structured to extract excess heat from the mixture of melted material pellets and blowing agent such that the mixture achieves an extrudable temperature. The heat extraction region includes an elongate barrel having at least one inlet and at least one outlet, the inlet being structured to receive the extrusion mixture therethrough for passage into the barrel wherein a heat extraction structure cooperatively disposed with the barrel draws heat therefrom. An extrusion screw is disposed in the barrel and includes at least one screw flight structured to rotate within the barrel and urge the extrusion mixture towards the outlet of the barrel where a die is disposed in order to form the finished product. Moreover, the screw flight includes at least one circulation channel defined therein and structured to receive quantities of the extrusion mixture therethrough upon rotation of the extrusion screw, thereby circulating the extrusion mixture towards the barrel for more effective and uniform cooling of the extrusion mixture to an extrudable temperature prior to passage through the die.
摘要:
Apparatus for extruding plastic and/or rubber material has a screw extruder, which plasticizes the material and delivers it to a gear pump which develops sufficient pressure for extrusion of the material through an extrusion head. The apparatus is characterized by the fact that the axes of gears of the gear pump and the axis of the screw of the extruder are parallel to one another. The housing of the gear pump has a side opening into which a cylindrical bushing and the screw of the extruder extend so that the material is delivered by the extruder directly to the gear pump as a non-oriented plasticized mass. The extrusion head may be a transverse extrusion head with an axis parallel to the axes of the gear wheels of the gear pump and the axis of the screw of the extruder. A second like extrusion apparatus including a screw extruder and a gear pump may be connected to an opposite side of the extrusion head.
