Abstract:
An apparatus for producing a foamed thermoplastic resin comprising an extruder including a barrel through which a thermoplastic resin is fed while being melted and a head to extrude said molten resin from said barrel, and gas injector means to inject a gas into said molten resin in said barrel through a gas injecting port in said barrel whereby said foamed thermoplastic resin article is formed by extruding said gas containing molten resin, said gas injector means characterized by comprising a gas metering means or gas flow rate setting means disposed adjacent and connected to said gas injecting port to conduct said gas therethrough while a constant flow rate is maintained, and a volume of a gas passage from said gas flow rate setting means to said gas injecting port in said barrel being sufficiently set for the gas pressure in said gas passage to respond to variation in the pressure of said molten resin in said barrel.
Abstract:
The operation of an extrusion machine is controlled to obtain a constant cross section in the extrudate without the need to make measurements upon it. The machine is fed by a controlled feeding device which discharges into a reservoir that has a capacity sufficient to ensure that the machine is choke fed, and the reservoir is provided with means, such as a narrow neck, to amplify variations in the level so that unacceptable changes are immediately indicated. Signals representing a rate of feed to the reservoir and the line speed are obtained and the relationship between the feed rate and the speed of the machine and between the feed rate and the line speed are adjusted respectively to maintain a constant level in the reservoir and to establish a constant relationship so that the rate of extrusion of material is kept constant.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a code in which the infiltration property of a rubber especially in the reinforcing cord of rubber goods is improved by making the rubber stably coat a wire which composes the code. SOLUTION: When a metal wire is led to an extruder and coextruded with the rubber from the mouthpiece of the extruder, and thereby the metal wire is coated with the rubber, a plurality of metal wires are made parallel in the mouthpiece and coextruded with the rubber.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for shortening the time needed to preheat an inner space of a cylinder.SOLUTION: Extrusion equipment 30 includes a cylindrical cylinder 71, a screw 73 which is arranged rotatably in the inner space V of the cylinder 71, and an external heater 72 which heats the inner space V from an outer peripheral side. The extrusion equipment 30 further includes a heater device 80 which is incorporated detachably in the screw 73. The heater device 80 includes, for example, a heater rod 81 which can be inserted into and extracted from a hollow shaft part Q of the screw 73.
Abstract:
Calendering installation for the production of a reinforcing ply (600) for a tire, which has a frame (100), two extruders (200, 300) for feeding elastomer material, a reinforcing-thread feeding device (400), a calender (500) having a first pair of counter-rotating rollers, with a first working roller (52) and a first shaping roller (51), and a second pair of counter-rotating rollers, with a second working roller (53) and a second shaping roller (54), wherein a calendering nip (59) is formed between the working rolls (52, 53) in order to receive a first calendered rubber ply (57) delivered by the first pair of rollers (51, 52), a second calendered rubber ply (58) delivered by the second pair of rollers (53, 54), and the reinforcing threads (45) in order to supply the calendered reinforcing ply (600), which is conveyed to the outlet of the installation via guide rollers (62, 63).According to the invention, the two extruders (200, 300) are superposed and arranged on either side of a horizontal plane P extending at the level of the guide rollers (62, 63).
