Abstract:
Device for cleaning an extruder intended to operate with elastomeric mixtures comprising a frame (11) supporting a screw (2) and a barrel (1), the screw (2) being made to rotate about the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the barrel (2) when it is rotationally driven by drive means, the barrel comprising an elastomeric-mixture feed inlet (3) and an outlet (4) opening directly into an extrusion die (21) mounted on a support (20).According to the invention, the frame (11) is mounted with the ability to move translationally with respect to the die (21) support (20) in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis X-X′ between a first position in which the barrel (1) and the die (21) are in sealed contact to allow the elastomeric mixture to pass through the die (21) and a second position in which the barrel (1) is moved away from the die (21) in order to perform cleaning, the parting line between the barrel (1) and the die being substantially axisymmetric with respect to the axis X-X′ and in that the said device comprises an automatic coupling mechanism (40) for quickly locking and unlocking the barrel (1) and the die (21) and allowing the frame (11) to move between the two positions.
Abstract:
A mixing and extrusion machine for tire sealant materials of the type comprising: a dump extruder equipped with conical converging twin screws located in a batching chamber, said chamber having a low pressure feeding area and a high pressure ducted area; a removable blind flange for temporarily sealing the outlet of said batching chamber so that said material is forced to recirculate between said duct area and said feeding area within said batching chamber, said chamber thereby also acting as a compounding chamber; and an inlet port located in the high pressure ducted area, the inlet port capable of introducing a diluent during mixing of a tire sealant material.
Abstract:
Described is an extrusion process and a decorative synthetic lumber produced therefrom by providing a cellulose plastic composition; delivering the composition through an area containing a screw in an extruder; maintaining a back pressure in the screw area to keep the screw area filled with the composition; and extruding the composition, at a temperature at or slightly above the melt point of the composition, into a decorative shaped synthetic lumber product through a breaker plate designed to maintain the back pressure in the screw area. A colorant may be added to the feed throat of the extruder.
Abstract:
A die pre-heating system comprises at least one die oven, a robotic hoist and processing structure in communication with the hoist and the at least one die oven. The processing structure is configured to control the hoist to permit an extrusion die to be loaded into the at least one die oven and to be unloaded from the at least one die oven. The processing structure is also configured to cause the at least one die oven to operate according to a production formula for pre-heating an extrusion die loaded therein.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an extrusion nozzle comprising at least one core (21-25). Said extrusion nozzle is also provided with a plurality of flow channels (11-19) for melt streams, said channels merging inside the extrusion nozzle to form the desired profiled element. The inventive extrusion nozzle consists of a plurality of plates (1-7). The flow channels (11-19) are separated from each other for all plates comprising at least one core (3-7), with the exception of the last plate (7), such that the at least one core (21-25) is connected to the remaining plate by the connecting elements (34-38) between the flow channels (11-20). When the flow channels (11-19) in the last plate (7) are continuously interconnected, the at least one core (21-25) of the last plate (7) is screwed onto the corresponding core or cores of the adjacent plate (6). When the flow channels (11-19) in the last plate (7) are interconnected only over part of the height thereof, the at least one core (21-25) of the last plate (7) is connected to the remaining plate (7) by means of the remaining connecting elements.

Abstract:
Provided are a locking device for a rubber composite extruder head, a rubber composite extruder head and a locking method for a rubber composite extruder head. The locking device for the rubber composite extruder head includes a lock door, a connecting seat, a connecting plate, and a mobile unit. The lock door includes a through hole, the connecting seat is arranged in the through hole. The mobile unit is installed in an inner cavity of the connecting seat. The connecting plate is located outside the lock door, both ends are respectively connected with the lock door. The mobile unit is connected with the connecting plate; the mobile unit drives the lock door through the connecting plate to move reciprocally. The locking devices are symmetrically installed on two side surfaces of the rubber composite extruder head.
Abstract:
A method for closing a facility (1) for extrusion of a profiled element (2) comprising a roller (3) supported by a bearing (4), a tool module (10) intended to interact with the roller (3) so as to form an air gap (12) for shaping the profiled element (2), and at least a first head module (13) having a first extruder (14) comprises an engagement step (s1), during which the tool module (10) is urged against the first bearing (4) by a preload force (F_Z), in an engagement direction (Z), then a clamping step (s2) during which the tool module (10) is clamped between the first head module (13) and a second head module (23), on either side of the tool module (10), and by subjecting them to a clamping force (F_X), in a coupling direction (X) which is transverse to the engagement direction (Z).
Abstract:
A single screw micro-extruder for a 3D printer includes a feed chamber with an opening for receiving solid plastic pellets. An extrusion barrel extends from the feed chamber and has an inner conically shaped bore between input and output ends. The bore has a mouth at the input end and an exit opening at the output end with a melt section therebetween. A rotatable screw is attached to a torque drive of the printer, and extends through the feed chamber and conical bore of the barrel. A constant or tapered diameter of the screw root core, from the input end toward the output end of the barrel, forms a decreasing channel root depth in a helical path for compression between a root core surface and an inner surface of the bore for pressurizing melt in the melt section of the barrel to exit an extrusion nozzle.
