A raw material quantity is supplied by a supply unit along a trajectory through a supply opening into the production machine. The trajectory of the raw material quantity is changeable. A supply unit for supplying a raw material quantity into a production machine comprises a supply channel portion having an exit opening and a feed hopper. The supply unit has at least one actuating unit, by which an actuating movement of the supply channel portion and/or of the feed hopper can be generated, so that the supply channel portion can be displaced relative to the feed hopper. A raw material mixture is supplied to the extrusion machine by the moved supply unit. In this way it is possible to supply the raw material mixture into the extrusion machine in a particularly uniform manner so that the raw material mixture can be processed by means of the extrusion machine.

A device and method for the production of a tubular film in a blown film method with a blown film line. It includes a lay-flat device and a takeoff device with a pair of take-off rolls, in which the tubular film can be laid flat, and at least one venting device of the previously flattened tubular film. The deaerating device includes a movement device for a cutting device with cutting elements and is arranged in the transport direction of the flattened tubular film downstream of the pair of take-off rolls so that the flattened tubular film can be slit and deaerated by the deaerating device.

A recyclable polyethylene man-door comprises an interior panel and an exterior door panel, each panel having a horizontal pattern of cut-outs and optionally comprising a blend of mineral additives that do not adversely affect the recyclability of the finished product.

An extrusion press device (1) and a method are for an extrusion material (3) which has small loose plant parts, in particular wood chips, provided with binder. The extrusion press device (1) has an extrusion press (7) which presses the supplied loose extrusion material (3) and shapes same into a strand (8) and which advances the strand in an extrusion direction (9). The extrusion press (7) has a shaping device (21) which forms one or more inner tubular cavities in the strand (8) in the extrusion direction (9). The extrusion press (7) forms a continuous strand (8) with one or more inner tubular cavities (29) during the extrusion process, the cavities being closed by the extrusion material (3) at the end face.

A method for production of reconstituted vegetable and/or reconstituted alkaloid substances, including the steps of: producing powdered material with predetermined particle size and including powders of vegetable and/or alkaloid substances mixed with vegetable fibres and/or powdered additives, high viscosity and water-based humectant gel; mixing powdered material with humectant gel obtaining a pasty compound based on the vegetable and/or alkaloid substances, substantially solid and with low water content; extruding the pasty compound based on the vegetable and/or alkaloid substances producing an extruded dough section based on the vegetable and/or alkaloid substances, substantially solid and with low water content; cutting the extruded section producing solid and compact small blocks/slabs of dough; rolling the various dough blocks/slabs forming a single dough sheet of predetermined thickness, substantially solid and strip-like; and lastly drying the dough sheet to obtain a sheet of reconstituted vegetable and/or reconstituted alkaloid substances, solid and compact and of predetermined thickness.

A system for fabricating an irrigation dripper, comprises several processing stations. One or more longitudinal drilling stations drill in an elongated extruded body of an irrigation dripper a first bore and a second bore, wherein the second bore is contiguous to the first bore and is smaller in diameter than the first bore. An additional drilling station drills an additional bore in the body to connect the first bore with an external surface of the elongated body. An assembling station inserts an extruded rod through the first and the second bores, such that the second bore holds a distal end of the rod to maintain a gap between the rod and an inner wall of the first bore.

A wiring trough, comprising a trough body, and a trough cover arranged on the trough body, wherein the two ends of the trough body are respectively provided with a first clamping portion, and the two ends of the trough cover are respectively provided with a second clamping portion, wherein the trough body and the trough cover are connected in a mutual clamping manner through the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion, wherein a channel for receiving a wire is formed by the trough body and the trough cover, wherein a first decoration lug is arranged on each of the first clamping portion, and a second decoration lug is arranged on each of the second clamping portion.

A process for the manufacture of a tread band for pneumatic tyres, wherein the blocks thereof comprise different rubber portions characterized by a different hysteresis loss. The process comprises a shredding step, wherein from a first and from a second rubber tread compound a plurality of fragments is manufactured with dimensions of between 6 and 30 mesh; a mixing step, wherein the fragments from the first and second compound are mixed together in order to obtain a mixture wherein said fragments are distributed in a random manner and retain their chemical/physical individuality; and an extrusion step, wherein the mixture from the preceding step is extruded for the manufacture of the tread band. The first and second compounds have different dynamic properties in terms of: dynamic modulus at 30° C., tand at 0° C., tand at 30° C. and tand at 60° C. The fragments retain a chemical/physical individuality both within the mixture formed during the mixing step and within the tread band formed during the extrusion step.

An underwater granulation system has a water box, a perforated plate with multiple through-openings for feeding a polymer melt into the water box, and a cutting plate support which is arranged in the water box so as to be driven in rotation about an axis of rotation (X) in a cutting direction. The cutting plate support has multiple cutting plates which face the perforated plate and are adapted to form granules by shearing particles from the polymer melt entering through the perforated plate. The water box is connected to a water supply for heat evacuation and for evacuating the separated particles from the water box. The water box also has a hollow cylindrical portion relative to the axis of rotation (X), in which multiple water inlets distributed over the circumference and multiple water outlets distributed over the circumference are arranged.

A composite porous membrane contains at least one porous base layer and at least one uniaxially stretched coating layer located on at least one side surface of the porous base layer. For example, the composite porous membrane comprises at least one porous base layer and at least one nanofiber-like non-polyolefin polymer porous layer oriented along the transverse stretching direction of the composite porous membrane and located on one or two side surfaces of the porous base layer, or the composite porous membrane comprises a biaxially stretched polypropylene porous base layer and a uniaxially stretched coating layer located on at least one side surface of the porous base layer. The composite porous membrane is coated with a coating solution prior to transversely stretching. The nanofiber-like non-polyolefin polymer porous layer may reduce cracking of the composite porous membrane in the machine direction.
