Abstract:
An apparatus for making a plastic filament web has in a vertical stack starting from the top an extruder releasably mounted on a platform, connected to a spinneret, and supplying molten plastic thereto for formation of plastic streams, a blowing unit directly beneath the spinneret cooling the streams and forming them into plastic filaments, a stretching gap directly beneath the blowing unit stretching the plastic filaments, a diffuser shaft directly beneath the stretching gap looping the stretched plastic filaments, and a foraminous conveyor directly beneath the diffuser shape receiving the looped and stretched filaments as a fleece which it transports horizontally out of the apparatus. A lowermost housing containing the conveyor sits directly on a stationary support surface and has an upper surface. An uppermost housing spaced above the lowermost housing supporting the extruder platform contains at least the spinneret and has a lower surface. A plurality of intermediate housings in a stack between the lowermost and uppermost housings contain the blowing unit, the stretching gap, and the diffuser shaft and each have a lower and an upper surface. Each lower surface directly engages and fits complementarily to the upper surface of the underlying housing with the intermediate and uppermost housings substantially wholly supported on the underlying housings and on the lowermost housing and the housings forming a tower supporting the platform.
Abstract:
The process for making a spun-filament fleece from at least two stretched thermoplastic monofilaments made of a thermoplastic material includes feeding thermoplastic material to at least two spinnerets each including a separate group or plurality of spinning nozzles arranged in rows over a rectangular cross section, then exposing each band or group of thermoplastic filaments issuing from each group of spinning nozzles separately to a transverse flow of cooling air in a blower shaft, next stretching the bands or groups of thermoplastic filaments jointly in a common central stretching shaft by outflowing stretching air, then depositing jointly the thermoplastic filaments which have been stretched in a spun band moving below the stretching shaft continuously to form the spun-filament fleece and drawing a suction air flow through the spun band and/or the spun-filament fleece being formed.
Abstract:
The extrusion press comprises a block and a displacing body mounted in the block. The block includes an inlet duct, two feed ducts connected to it, transversely widened spaces connected to them and an outlet duct. The displacing body comprises a mounting portion and a guide portion and is located downstream of the inlet duct. It separates both feed ducts and both transversely widened spaces and projects with a sword-like piece of the guide portion into the outlet duct to form outlet gaps. It ends upstream of a mouth of the outlet duct providing an inner expansion chamber. The displacing body is free of a supporting member and held fixed from above and below by its mounting portion so that the thermoplastic material flow surrounds the sides of the sword-like piece running in the flow direction and surrounds the sword-like piece. At least the sword-like piece has a tempering passage system distributed over its length and breadth which is connected with a plurality of lateral connecting tubes for feeding and removing a tempering medium upstream of the sword-like piece.
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:
A device is provided with vertical holding elements for depositing and stacking of plastic bags having welded lower or bottom seams. The holding elements are fixed to crossbeams which extend across an advancing plane in the feeding direction of the bag and are hinged onto an outer circumference of a rotatable support. The support is in the form of an impeller wheel and the crossbeams are set on the support so that the holding elements maintain a vertical position as the crossbeams rotate.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the paired manufacture of carry bags from synthetic resin sheeting with lateral weld seams and an approximately sinusoidal load-bearing rim with punched-in handle openings, wherein a laid-flat tubular film is cut open in wave shape, and the two cut-apart semitubular sheets (1a, 1b) are pulled apart transversely to the conveying direction, the wave crests are folded over at least in part in parallel to the folding edges (3) in each case either toward the outside or toward the inside, then the semitubular sheets are again united in order to compensate for at least a portion of the gap S produced by folding over the flaps, and after achieving a synchronous run of the folded over flaps (51, 52), the latter are welded to the lower and upper sheet layers (10a, 10b) of the semitubular sheets (1a, 1b) in the area (15) surrounding the subsequent handle opening (4), the wave crests, prior to being folded over, being electrically discharged and, after having been folded over, being again charged electrically prior to the provision of the weld bond.
Abstract:
An apparatus for forming a thin-wall and flattenable synthetic-resin tube has inner and outer nozzle parts generally centered on a common axis and defining an annular passage centered on the axis. At least one of the parts is formed with an annular and substantially closed chamber juxtaposed with the passage and extending axially therealong. A hot plastic mass is fed under pressure to one end of the passage so that it passes axially along the passage to emerge from the other end thereof as a tube. A body of liquid partially fills the chamber, this liquid being vaporizable generally at the temperature of the hot mass in the passage. Thus the liquid is vaporized at hot spots of the passage and the vapor thus produced condenses in cool spots of the passage. The space in the chamber above the liquid body is normally largely evacuated. The liquid may be water.
Abstract:
An extrusion die for extruding a thermoplastified synthetic resin, e.g. for a foil-blowing head or a wide-slit nozzle can have its adjustable lip positioned to vary the thickness of the extruded strand by a driver acting on a rod engaging that lip and driven by a step-down transmission from a servomotor which may be a stepping motor.
Abstract:
A cuppable composite thermoplastic foil with a PVDC layer is subjected to a cupping process at a definite temperature and the container is formed by the cupping process, especially a vacuum cupping process. To provide a stronger and more stable container for food packaging the composite foil is heated to a temperature above the crystallization temperature of PVDC and because of that the crystal structure of the PVDC is broken up. The crystallization degree of the composite foil is reduced at least 50%, after which the composite foil is quenched at a temperature of less than 75.degree. C., advantageously below 50.degree. C. The cupping process is performed immediately after the quenching.
Abstract:
The fleece-making apparatus includes a spinning nozzle system, a cooling shaft, a stretching aperture, a diffuser shaft, a fleece delivery conveyor and a device for feeding process air and for drawing outflowing air through the fleece delivery conveyor. The process air is divided into two partial flows as it is fed into the cooling shaft on each side of the cooling shaft. The upper partial flow serves for intensive cooling, the lower partial flow for additional cooling. Both partial flows are united in the cooling shaft. The cross section of the united process air flow is constricted by air control flaps positioned wedge like on opposite sides at the entrance of the stretching aperture. The process air flow issuing from the stretching aperture is influenced by pivoting wings movable about a horizontal axis at the entrance to the diffuser shaft on both sides and also by an adjustable damper which is located either above and/or below the fleece delivery conveyor.
