摘要:
The present invention is a system and process for drying and extruding a cellulosic compound. The compound materials are provided to a mixer in a desired ratio. The compound materials are then mixed together. Thereafter, the compound materials can be stored in a non-controlled environment until needed. When it is time to extrude the compound materials, the compound materials are transferred to a dryer at a location remote from the mixer. The dryer has a surface area enabling the compound materials to be sufficiently spread out for drying. The compound materials are substantially uniformly dried to a desired level in the dryer. The compound materials are then transferred to an extruder to be formed into a final net shape.
摘要:
A system and method for manufacturing composite material components having substantially uniform properties comprising means to control the metering of constituent composite material components during manufacture. The resulting composite material components may, for example, be used in the construction of decking systems, railing, porches, fences, stairs, or other similar or suitable applications that may benefit from aesthetically pleasing appearances.
