Abstract:
A process for the production of sheeting from chips of a thermoplastic material includes the steps of forming a granulated thermoplastic synthetic polymeric material transversely and longitudinally into a crude sheet, cutting the crude sheet into transverse strips, and cutting the transverse strips longitudinally into chips having approximately rectangular configurations. Thereafter the process further includes stacking the chips in a uniform distribution in a thin layer, heating the stacked chips to sinter the layer of stacked chips into a sheet, winding the sheet into a round multilayered block, radially compressing the multilayered block, cooling the compressed block and peripherally paring the compressed block into sheeting.
Abstract:
A process for the production of thermoplastic plates from chips of a thermoplastic material which includes the steps of calendering a granulated synthetic polymeric thermoplastic material into at least one crude sheet, cuttting the crude sheet into transverse strips, cutting the transverse strips longitudinally into chips, each having an approximately rectangular configuration, stacking the chips in a uniform distribution up to the level of the desired rough block, heating the stacked chips and then subdividing the stack into the dimensions of the rough block desired. Thereafter, the rough block is placed in a mold where it is compressed with heating and subsequently cooled and then divided into plates.
Abstract:
AN APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A WOUND PIPE OF THERMOPLASTIC SYNTHETIC RESIN, WHEREIN A PROFILED BAND OF THERMOPLASTIC, HAVING ONE EDGE PROVIDED WITH A TONGUE AND THE /OTHER EDGE THEREOF PROVIDED WITH A BEAD CONTAINING A GROOVE FOR RECEIVING SAID TONGUE, IS WOUND SPIRALLY IN THE SOFTENED CONDITION ABOUT A ROTATING MANDREL WHEREBY THE TONNGUE OF A PRECEDING WINDING LAP IS CONTTINUOUSLY RECEIVED IN THE GROOVE OF THE BEAD OF THE IMMEDIATELY SUBSEQUENT WINDING LAP, COMPRISING A ROTATABLE DRUM MEANS, AT LEAST ONE PRESSURE ROLL ASSOCIATED WITH SAID DRUM MEANS AND A MEANS, PREFERABLY A SERIES OF TAKE-OFF ROLLS, FOR REMOVING THE FINISHED PIPE FROM THE DRUM MEANS, THE PRESSURE ROLL COMPRISES THREE SECTIONAL ROLLS HAVING A CONTOUR WHICH CORRESPONDS TO THE JUNCTION POINT BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE WINDINGS OF THERMOPLASTIC, THE THREE SECTIONAL ROLLS SUBSTANTIALLY COVERING THE JUNCTION POINT. USING THIS DEVICE, A UNIFORM CONTACT PRESSURE AND, THUS, A UNIFORM AND SATISFACTORY WELDING BOND IS ONTAINED BETWEEN THE TONGUE AND GROOVE THERMOPLASTIC WINDINGS.
Abstract:
A pipe is continuously formed by spirally winding a band onto the cylindrical portion of a mandrel after the band exits from a synthetic material extruding machine while still thermoelastic or after a preformed band is passed through the suitable heating device. One longitudinal edge of the band is provided with a radially outwardly widening tongue and the other longitudinal edge of the band is provided with a radially inwardly widening channel. In forming the pipe, the tongue is cooled to be rigid and inserted into the thermoelastically heated channel of an adjacent lap of the spirally wound band.
