Abstract: A multi-component extrusion die head for producing a composite tube comprises an extrusion nozzle, a main die head, and a melt flow distributor device. The main die head is configured to supply the extrusion nozzle with a first melt flow and a second melt flow, which are guided separately from one anther in the extrusion nozzle away from the main die head and toward a nozzle outlet of the extrusion nozzle. The melt flow distributor device is arranged in the extrusion nozzle outside of the main die head and is configured to split the first melt flow in a peripheral direction thereof, and to supply the second melt flow to the first melt flow such that at least one section of the second melt flow is arranged within the first melt flow in the peripheral direction.

Abstract: A fluid-flow-modification plate comprises a monolithic body, having an inlet-side surface and an outlet-side surface, a first passage, a second passage, a third passage, and a fourth passage. The first passage, the second passage, the third passage, and the fourth passage each extend between the inlet-side surface and the outlet-side surface. The first passage and the second passage intersect each other at a first intersection boundary. The third passage and the fourth passage intersect each other at a second intersection boundary. The first passage and the third passage do not intersect each other. The second passage and the fourth passage do not intersect each other. The first-passage-inlet-opening perimeter boundary has only two points of intersection with the fourth-passage-inlet-opening perimeter boundary. The second-passage-outlet-opening perimeter boundary has only two points of intersection with the third-passage-outlet-opening perimeter boundary.

Abstract: A preformer (1) is designed to extrude jointly a plurality of elastomer mixes in a direction of flow (X1), in order to form a profiled element, the preformer comprising for this purpose, superimposed in a direction of stacking (Z1), transverse to the direction of flow (X1), a first channel (11), a second channel (12) which is separated from the first channel (11) by a first partition (15), then a third channel (13), separated from the second channel (12) by a second partition (16), the preformer also comprising a stiffener (20) formed integrally with the first partition (15) and the second partition (16), and extends through the second channel (12), having a leading edge (21) which splits the flow of elastomer material following the second channel (12).
