A plane plate for a pressing tool of a press in which the plane plate activate a punch of the press by way of at least one lifting cylinder that can be displaced along an axial direction. The plane plate has an upper side that points in a first axial direction and a lower side that points in a second axial direction counter to the first axial direction, a link to the at least one lifting cylinder, a centrally disposed receptacle for contacting the punch or a punch holder of the press, as well as at least a first at least partially cylindrical guiding face which for contacting a first guide column is parallel with the axial direction, and a second at least partially cylindrical guiding face which for contacting a second guide column is parallel with the axial direction; wherein on the lower side of the plane plate the first guiding face has a first lower end and the second guiding face has a second lower end, wherein the first lower end and the second lower end in relation to the axial direction are disposed at mutually dissimilar heights and thus are disposed so as to be mutually spaced apart in the axial direction.

Compaction systems and methods of compacting components are provided. In one aspect, a laminate of a component can be laid up on a tool of a compaction system. The laminate defines a cavity. A noodle is positioned relative to or in the cavity. A noodle ring is then positioned relative to the noodle. For instance, the noodle ring can be placed over the noodle. A cross section of the noodle ring can be shaped complementary to a cross section of the noodle. A plunger of the compaction system is moved so that it engages the noodle ring. Particularly, the plunger is moved in such a way that a force is applied on the noodle ring so that the noodle ring compacts the noodle into the cavity.

A plane plate for a pressing tool of a press in which the plane plate for activating a punch of the press by way of at least one lifting cylinder is displaceable along an axial direction. The plane plate has a link to the at least one lifting cylinder, a centrally disposed receptacle 9 for contacting the punch or a punch holder of the press and at least one at least partially cylindrical guiding face, which for contacting a first guide column is parallel with the axial direction. The plane plate has, in at least a first cross section which runs through the link and the receptacle parallel with the axial direction and along a radial direction that runs so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction, at least a first region between the link and the receptacle, having a wall thickness, wherein the wall thickness in the first region and so as to be spaced apart from the receptacle as well as from the link has at least a minimum.

A rotary compression-molding machine includes an upper punch-retaining portion disposed above a table including die bores and retaining an upper punch, a dust-proofing device including a sealing case including a bottom wall that includes an insertion bore penetrated by the upper punch and faces a downward surface of the upper punch-retaining portion, and an outer wall facing an outer surface of the upper punch-retaining portion, and supported by the upper punch-retaining portion, and an expandable dust cover attached to be in contact with a downward surface of the bottom wall of the sealing case and covering a circumferential edge of the insertion bore and an outer circumference of the upper punch, and air passages disposed between the outer wall of the sealing case and the outer surface of the upper punch-retaining portion.

A plastic material crushing and compacting structure, including: a barrel, a upper side thereof configured with an input hole, and an inside thereof a driving device, an inside of the driving device a wireless transceiver module; a pair of clamping seats, configured below the input hole, and used to clamp an input plastic material item (e.g. plastic bottle, paute, etc.) to prevent the plastic material item from ejecting; a crushing device, configured below the pair of clamping seats and used to crush the input plastic material item, and provided with crushing device driver; and a telescopic push rod, configured below the driving device and moved vertically, a bottom of the telescopic push rod provided with a compressing face, several strip supports configured on the compressing face, and a gap arranged between each two adjacent strip supports, each of the gaps is the same size or not the same size.

A method for forming a product of compressible material includes preparing compressible material, assembling a molding fixture, filling the compressible material into a filling tube of the molding fixture, clamping the filling tube by a clamping mechanism of the molding fixture, moving an adjusting screw of the molding fixture downward in the filling tube to compress the compressible material, delivering the molding fixture to a heating module to perform a heating process so that the compressible material s heated and melted, delivering the molding fixture to a cooling module to perform a cooling process so that the compressible material is cooled and solidified to form a product, stripping the molding fixture from the product, and finishing and taking out the product of the compressible material.

A plane plate for a pressing tool of a press in which the plane plate for activating a punch of the press is by way of at least one lifting cylinder is displaceable along an axial direction. The plane plate has a link to the at least one lifting cylinder, a centrally disposed receptacle for contacting the punch or a punch holder of the press and at least one at least partially cylindrical guiding face which for contacting a guide column is parallel with the axial direction. The plane plate in at least a first cross section which between the receptacle and the guiding face runs parallel with the axial direction and along a radial direction that runs so as to be perpendicular to the axial direction has at least a first region with a wall thickness and a first centerline, wherein the first centerline runs at least partially at a first angle of at least 10 angular degrees and of at most 80 angular degrees in relation to the radial direction.

A tablet press comprises a gate that defines a first switching position that feeds tablets into a first tablet outlet and at least a second switching position that feeds tablets into at least one second tablet outlet. The table press further comprises a control apparatus and a drive apparatus. The drive apparatus is configured to be actuated by the control apparatus to move the gate from a home position defined as one of the first switching position and the at least a second switching position into a target position defined as a switching position that is not the home position. The gate is moved from the home switching position at a speed of movement toward the target position such that the speed of movement of the gate is reduced before the target position is reached.
