An equal channel angular extrusion tool comprising a punch assembly, a die set assembly, a base assembly, and a bottom slider assembly. The punch assembly comprises a punch, a punch nose, and a punch trolley. The die set assembly comprises an inlet channel and a removable core. The base assembly comprises a lifting mechanism which further comprises a die lift cylinder and a hold down ram. The bottom slider assembly comprises an ejection ram. The tool also includes a billet. The billet may be disposed in the bottom slider assembly. Severe plastic deformation is applied to the billet in the bottom slider assembly.

A polymer cane extruder is a hand held polymer clay extruder tool made to extrude polymer clay canes with ease. It is designed for home use and comprises of a solid rod and a hollow tube that is made of clear acrylic with marked guidelines. It is an extruder tool that not only extrudes clay but is mainly used for cutting polymer clay cane slices of various uniform and consistent shapes, which includes cylindrical, square, and triangular shapes. This tool aids in holding the polymer canes unique shape and size when compressed and extruded while maintaining the shape of the pieces of polymer cane that are to be sliced off without distorting their original shape. A polymer clay cane extruder is very useful for making multi-patterned sheets from pieces of polymer clay canes that are combined into one continuous piece. These sheets are used in jewelry articles, such as beads, pendants, bracelets, and neckpieces and/or other arts and crafts related projects.

A polymer clay cane extruder that is comprised of a solid rod and a hollow tube that is made of acrylic. The tool is used for cutting polymer clay slices of various uniform and consistent shapes, which includes cylindrical, square, and triangular shapes. This tool gives uniform shape and size to each slice of polymer cane when compressed and extruded, which holds its shape and aids in cutting uniform slices of the clay canes with little to no distortion. It does not require any excessive force for cutting canes. A polymer clay cane extruder is very useful for making canes that are used in jewelry articles, such as beads, pendants, bracelets, and neckpieces and/or other arts and crafts related projects.

An extrusion system including a press with a chassis, a slider mounted to be mobile vertically on the chassis and an actuating arrangement that moves the slider, a hollow container receiving a billet and having at one end an extrusion die and at the other end a piston mobile in translation horizontally in the container, and a movement transformation system arranged between the slider and the piston to transform the vertical movement in translation of the slider into horizontal movement in translation of the piston. With an arrangement of this kind, it is possible to use a press of higher power.

A system for making blocks for gravity energy storage includes an extrusion press machine with a receiving chamber for receiving raw material, a compaction chamber and a pressing wall driven by a piston to push the raw material into the compaction chamber to compact the material to form a block. One or more of a top wall, opposite side walls and the pressing wall are moved away from the a center of the compaction chamber to allow the block to elastically expand prior to exiting the compaction chamber.

The invention is directed to a machine for compacting agricultural fibrous matter into a board, comprising a hopper for receiving the agricultural fibrous matter; a pre-compacting device comprising several rows of fingers configured for moving successively into, along and out of vertical slits formed in at least a wall of the hopper; an extruder comprising an extrusion passage downstream of the hopper; and a ram configured for moving in a reciprocal manner along the extrusion passage; wherein each row of fingers of the pre-compacting device is independent in speed.

A can bodymaker includes a ram including a punch and an air conduit, wherein the ram is structured to reciprocate, and an air strip system structured to receive pressurized air and to selectively provide the pressurized air to the punch via the air conduit to strip a can body off of the punch. The air strip system includes an air strip valve disposed on a reciprocating component of the can bodymaker, wherein the air strip valve is structured to selectively open to provide pressurized air to the punch and to close to stop providing pressurized air to the punch.
