The invention relates to a composite tube, in particular a corrugated tube, comprising a first wall section produced from a first plastic material, a second wall section produced from a second plastic material different from the first plastic material, and a third wall section produced from a third plastic material different from the first plastic material and the second plastic material, the first wall section, the second wall section, and the third wall section being adjacently arranged in a peripheral direction of the composite tube, the third wall section being arranged between the first wall section and the second wall section and connecting the first wall section to the second wall section, and the first wall section, the second wall section, and the third wall section respectively extending in a radial direction of the composite tube over an entire wall thickness thereof.

A bellows includes: an at least two-layer construction including at least a first layer and at least a second layer. In an embodiment, the layers are inseparably interconnected due to a manufacturing process of the layers. In an embodiment, the layers comprise different materials and/or have different densities. In an embodiment, at least one of the layers comprises a TPE material.

A process for making a container includes the step of providing at least one of a slider, sticker, textured surface, pattern, or embossed surface along a folded web of thermoplastic material that comprises a plurality of container templates. The process also includes the step of picking up, with a turner, each container template. The turner includes one or more rotator assemblies that include a rotatable shaft and a bag-contacting surface connected to an end of the rotatable shaft. The bag-contacting surface is configured to engage a top exterior side of each container template. Additionally, the process includes the step of reorienting, with the turner, each container template. The rotatable shaft is configured to horizontally translate and rotate each container template.

A device for producing plastic pipes may include an extruder with a die head and a corrugator, into which a molten plastic tube is introduced by means of the die head to mold the plastic pipe. The corrugator has a molding section, in which molding jaws are guided in pairs in the production direction; in an inlet section of the corrugator, the molding jaws are brought together to form molding jaw pairs towards the start of the molding section; and in an outlet section of the corrugator, the molding jaw pairs are moved apart from each other from the end of the molding section. Each molding jaw has a first and second guide pins and the molding jaws are guided in the guiding apparatus in that the first and second guide pins engage, with respective free ends, in first and second guide grooves of the guiding apparatus.

There is provided a touch fastener that has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged and does not easily separate from a mating member, and thus is usable in a wider range of applications. In the touch fastener, all the elements, that is, first strands, second strands, and engagement elements are formed of a thermoplastic elastomer. Further, the plurality of first strands and the plurality of second strands are disposed to intersect with each other, and consequently, hole portions each surrounded by the two adjacent first strands and the two adjacent second strands are provided. Accordingly, it has a high elastic function, easily stretches, and has high followability to the relative movement of portions to be engaged.

The present disclosure generally relates to extrusion die systems. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a specialty pin cam nut designed for the ease of assembly and disassembly of extrusion dies.

The invention relates to a device for producing plastic pipe from a molten plastic tube. The device comprises a injection head for connection to an extruder for the extrusion of the molten plastic tube and several molding jaws in each case having a molding surface for the molding of the extruded molten plastic tube, which, for molding the extruded molten plastic tube, are arranged, in each case in pairs, guided by means of a drive device along a molding path in the production direction of the extruded molten plastic tube. The molding surface in each case partially encircles a receiving space for receiving the molten plastic tube. According to the invention, at least one of the molding jaws has a sensor device which comprises at least one sensor with a data-capturing sensor head, which is arranged such that its capture area comprises an area of the molding surface and/or an area of the receiving space.
