摘要:
A kneading apparatus includes a barrel having a chamber, which is a tubular hollow, a biaxial screw set for extruding a material to be kneaded downstream by rotation of the biaxial screw set inside the chamber, and kneading blade sections, mounted in the screw set, for kneading the material by shearing the material in tip clearances and a wedge-shaped space between an inside wall of the chamber and the kneading blade sections. The tip clearance becomes narrower from the upstream side to the downstream side in the direction of extrusion of the material. The kneading apparatus, which performs a continuous kneading operation, makes it possible to set proper kneading conditions in accordance with changes in the state of a material being continuously kneaded, and achieves high kneading efficiency.

A process is disclosed for producing a transfer member to be used in a transfer system by which a toner image formed on a first image-bearing member is transferred to a second image-bearing member. The process comprises the steps of melt-extruding an extrusion material from a circular die of an extrusion/forming apparatus into a cylindrical film; and measuring the circumference of the cylindrical film and sending the resultant information to the extrusion/forming apparatus to adjust the circumference of the cylindrical film. Also disclosed are a transfer member produced by such a process, and an image-forming apparatus having the transfer member. The transfer member can be produced as an intermediate transfer belt or a transfer belt which have a stable peripheral length.
摘要:
A method of expanding a tube of plastics material in which a longitudinally travelling tube is progressively diametrically expanded in internal fluid pressure in an expansion zone between an upstream plug and an expandable downstream plug. Expansion of the tube is controlled in response to parameters which directly or indirectly indicate variation in the relative velocity at which material is delivered to and removed from the expansion zone, such as detecting upstream velocity, early expansion diameter, axial force on a sizing device or the tube diameter just before the expansion zone.

A coextrusion system employs two or more extruders, each with a gear pump at its output connected to a coextrusion die. Different materials are extruded by each extruder. Varying the speed of one or both gear pumps varies the content of the extrudate. The gear pumps permit precise variation of the relative content of the materials extruded by the several extruders lengthwise along the extrudate. A display of a cross sectional dimension of the extrudate along a length of the extrudate permits observation of the lag that occurs between alteration of gear pump speed (or air pressure in the case of tubular or blown sheet extrudates) and the resultant change in dimension, so that a speed correction can be made at the appropriate time to compensate for differing shrinkage and stretching characteristics between the several extruded materials.

A method and apparatus for blown film extrusion is described. An annular die receives a molten material and extrudes a film tube. At least one cooling ring is positioned adjacent the annular die for passing an air stream along a particular surface of the film tube. A blower entrains and supplies air to the cooling ring. A flow sensor is positioned in an air flow path intermediate the at least one cooling ring and the blower. It provides a mass air flow signal which is a measure of air mass flow per unit time. An adjustable air flow attribute modifier is placed in communication with the air flow path and operates to selectively modify the air mass flow per time unit. A controller member is in communication with the flow sensor and the adjustable air flow attribute modifier, for receiving the mass air flow signal and for controlling the adjustable air flow attribute modifier to provide a preselected value of air flow in terms of air mass flow per unit time.
摘要:
A system for controlling the outer diameter of a strand, particularly of a cable or the like including a measuring device for measuring the outer diameter of the strand of plastic material emerging from the extruder. The signal of the measuring device is fed to a comparator which compares it with a reference diameter and generates a difference signal. A control unit receives the difference signal to control the rotational speed of the extruder and/or the speed by which the strand emerges from the extruder. A computing stage is connected to the control unit which generates a comparison signal modulated by the actual diameter signal and fed to the control unit.
摘要:
To determine and/or automatically control the degree of orientation of tubular films which have been made in a film-blowing plant including an extruder having a film-blowing head and apparatus for internal cooling and also including flattening and take-off apparatus, the rate of exchange of the air for internal cooling, the speed of the extruder, the temperature of the plastic composition being extruded and/or the take-off velocity are controlled. To ensure that the degree of orientation can be determined and/or automatically controlled in a simple manner and without an occurrence of trouble, that shape of the flaring portion of the bubble which corresponds to the desired degree of orientation is determined and/or adjusted and is recorded as the desired shape of the bubble. The actual shape of the flaring portion of the bubble is detected and compared with and adapted to the desired shape.
摘要:
In a blow film extrusion system in which film is extruded as a tube from an annular die and then pulled along a predetermined path, an apparatus is provided for gauging and controlling the circumference of the extruded film tube. At least one transducer, preferably ultrasonic, is mounted adjacent the extruded film tube for transmitting and receiving interrogating pulses along paths normal to the extruded film tube, and for producing a current position signal corresponding to the circumference of the extruded film tube. The current position signal is continuously compared with at least one previous position signal, preferably with a computer program resident in a controller memory. If at least one preselected condition is violated, the current position signal is disregarded in favor of an estimated position signal. The quantity of air within the extruded film tube is varied in response to either the current position signal or the estimated position signal to maintain the extruded film tube at a preselected circumference. The transducer may be mounted to an adjustable sizing cage, and is thus moveable inward, outward, upward, and downward relative to the extruded film tube as changes are made in its circumference or frostline position.

A film blowing line is disclosed which includes a winding roll to receive a folded film; the film having initially been tubular in shape. In the invention, the diameter of the winding roll is measured in an axial direction and, correspondingly, the thickness can be controlled with the aid of an actuating member, as a rule, differentially across the circumference of the tubular film.
