Abstract:
An extruder die for extrusion of a multilayer thermoplastic laminate, particularly in the form of a foil or plate, comprises a multicomponent block symmetric with respect to a central plane dividing a plurality of feed channels and distributing channels connected to said feed channels, at least one mouth and a central distributor channel connected to and following said mouth symmetric in relation to the axis of said extruder die as well as an outlet die following said central distributor channel. The block has on the end opposite the outlet die an additional feed channel with a round or rectangular cross section for feeding in a special plastic material which changes over into a discharge duct extending to the mouth. The additional feed channel is positioned in a cartridge which has a plurality of tempering passages distributed over the periphery and length thereof and which is mounted in a cartridge receptacle of the block and the cartridge moreover is provided with a plurality of feed ducts for providing a coating plastic material to the flow of the special plastic material.
Abstract:
A die for a thermoplastic material with at least one output-gap-defining adjustable die lip, an opposing gap-bounding lip, at least one adjusting element working on the output-gap-defining die lip as well as a control and adjusting device for the thickness of the extruded plastic product, wherein the adjusting element is associated with and operated at least partially by the control and adjusting device. A field translator, either a piezotranslator or a magnetostriction translator, is employed as the adjusting element.
Abstract:
An extruder press unit for extrusion of a thermoplastic material has at least one output gap in an extruder body, wherein the output gap is formed by an output gap-defining adjustable extruder lip and an opposing gap-bounding lip. This output gap is adjustable with the help of a mechanical coarse adjusting mechanism to a given gap width, and the gap-defining adjustable extruder lip is connected to at least one adjusting element, to which a control and adjusting device for the thickness of the extruded material is associated. The opposing gap-bounding lip is likewise constructed as an adjustable structural component. The coarse adjusting mechanism operates on the opposing gap bounding lip. A field translator is employed as at least one of the adjusting elements and of course in the form of either a piezotransistor or a magnetrostriction translator. The control and adjusting device is set up for a fine adjustment in the range between 0.05 and 0.3 mm, preferably between 0.10 to 0.20 mm.
Abstract:
The apparatus for continuous extrusion of a plastic laminate has at least two extrusion screw presses, an accumulator block, a transition unit, and an output die, from which the plastic laminate product is extruded. The accumulator block has a combining channel or canal therein which is fed by the extrusion screw presses. This combining canal is connected by way of the transition unit to the output die. The combining canal preferably has a rectangular cross section with rounded corners and at its upstream end is directly connected to a first extrusion screw press by way of a connecting canal coaxial with the combining canal. Downstreamwards below the connecting canal is found at least one input metering slot connected to the combining canal at one end and through a connecting apparatus at its other end to an additional extrusion screw press, this input metering slot lying between an input plate and an adjusting bar guided in an adjusting bar recess. The input metering slot extends over a rectangular side of the rectangular cross section combining canal, is directed slantingly downstreamwards, and opens into the combining canal. The adjusting bar has an adjustable beveled portion fitting into the combining canal and is adjustable perpendicular to the input metering slot in the adjusting bar recess so as to meter the flow of thermoplastic material from the additional extrusion screw press.
Abstract:
An apparatus for extruding a thermoplastic laminate has a nozzle assembly having a nozzle body centered generally on a plane and formed at the plane with a merge passage, with an outlet slot opening in one direction from the merge passage, with core-layer distribution and intake passages centered on the plane and opening in the opposite direction into the merge passage, and with cover-layer distribution and intake passages opening laterally into the merge passage. A core-layer fitting formed with tempering chambers forms part of the core-layer intake passage and a trimmings fitting mounted on the nozzle body has a trimmings intake passage and a trimmings feed passage extending therefrom to the cover-layer distribution passage. A liquefied core-layer resin is fed under pressure to the core-layer intake passage and therethrough to the merge passage and outlet slot. Laminate trimmings are also fed under pressure to the trimmings intake passage and therethrough and through the trimmings feed passage to the merge passage, and a liquefied cover-layer resin is fed under pressure to the cover-layer intake passage and therethrough to the merge passage and outlet slot and also to the trimmings feed passage to mix with the liquefied trimmings therein.
