A molded product production system includes at least two measuring feeders configured to simultaneously adjust an amount of a discharged powdery material to a target value and feed the powdery material, a mixer configured to mix at least two powdery materials fed from the measuring feeders to obtain mixed powdery materials, a filler configured to fill, with the mixed powdery materials obtained by the mixer, a die bore of a compression-molding machine configured to compress a powdery material to mold a molded product, a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials obtained by the mixer, and a controller configured to adjust an amount of at least one of the powdery materials fed by the measuring feeders, or motion speed of a mixing member configured to agitate powdery materials in the mixer in accordance with the mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials measured by the sensor.

A powdery material mixing degree measurement device includes a discharger configured to discharge mixed powdery materials to a filler configured to fill, with the powdery materials, a vertically penetrating die bore of a compression-molding machine including a table including the die bore, a slidable lower punch including an upper end inserted to the die bore, and a slidable upper punch including a lower end inserted to the die bore, a plurality of movable portions configured to move the mixed powdery materials to the discharger, and a sensor configured to measure a mixing degree of the mixed powdery materials in the movable portions.

A rotary press comprises a rotor that can be rotated by a rotary drive. The rotor has an upper punch guide for upper press punches and a lower punch guide for lower press punches and a die plate arranged between the punch guides. The upper and lower press punches are configured interact with cavities of the die plate. A filling device loads filling material into cavities of the die plate and at least one measuring device coupled to the filling device for monitoring the availability of the filling material in the filling device. The rotary press further includes at least one upper pressing device and at least one lower pressing device that are configured to interact with the upper press punches and the lower press punches to press the filling material in the cavities of the die plate into a pellet. An ejection device is configured to eject the pellets. wherein at least one measuring device is arranged on or in the filling device for monitoring the availability of the filling material in the filling device.

A mold for producing a green compact using powder metallurgy processes has an upper punch and a lower punch which are movable along a common press axis and a die body with a charging chute for receiving powder material. The die body has an upper region in which the upper punch is movably guided along the press axis in the charging chute, and a lower region in which the lower punch is movably guided along the press axis in the charging chute. Two cross slides realize a forming region which determines the lateral outside contour of the green compact, and are arranged on the die body so as to be displaceable in a direction which deviates from the press axis. The two cross slides only move into contact with one another when the two cross slides are arranged in their respective end position.

Provided is a method and device for batched compression molding of rubber and plastic products by means of multiple mold cavities, including alternating operation of a blank shuttle and a male mold that is in a bottle cap mold, being controlled by means of engagement of two partial gear sets. Mold opening motion, isostatic pressing energy storage, and spring energy storage are implemented by means of the engagement characteristic of the partial gear sets, and mold closing and compression molding are implemented by means of the non-engagement characteristic, isostatic pressing energy storage, and pressurization of the partial gear sets. The method and device effectively resolve the general problem of low production efficiency and poor precision and stability of existing compression molding cap manufacturing equipment.

A method for tracking product in an installation in which powdered product is processed into manufactured items is provided. The method comprises introducing the powdered product into the installation through at least one inlet, obtaining measurement data for the powdered product from at least one mass sensor positioned in the at least one inlet, and dividing the measurement data into mass units of equal size. The progression of the mass units is then tracked through the installation using measurement data from at least one other mass sensor in the installation.

A method for decorating in thickness a ceramic slab, comprising the following steps: preparing, on a decoration surface (10), a first soft decorated layer (L1) of ceramic material endowed with a decoration (V); progressively transferring, by deposition, the soft decorated layer (L1) from the decoration surface (10) to a first deposition surface (50), situated at a lower height than the decoration surface (10), thus progressively forming on the first deposition surface (50) a second soft decorated layer (L2) which has a head (H) and a tail (T); progressively transferring, by deposition, the second soft decorated layer (L2) from the first deposition surface (50) to a second deposition surface (83), situated at a lower height than the first deposition surface (50), starting from the tail (T) of the second soft decorated layer (L2), thus progressively forming on the second deposition surface (83) a third soft decorated layer (L3).

A dust solidification apparatus that homogenizes dust components having a simple structure and capable of performing dust solidification in a stable manner includes: a storage tank that stores dust; a forming member within the storage tank, the forming member having a forming hole; and a pressurizing rod configured to freely advance and withdraw with respect to the inside of the forming hole, wherein the rod is made to advance into the forming hole to solidify dust filled therein, thereby obtaining a solidified substance, the forming hole has entry and discharge sections for the pressurizing rod and is in communication with the storage tank, and a stirring passage is provided in the outside of the discharge section to guide dust pushed out from the discharge section by the entry of the pressurizing rod into the entry section in a direction different from the discharge direction and to stir the dust.

A dust solidification apparatus including a storage tank for storing dust; a forming member that is disposed at a lower portion of the storage tank, the forming member being provided with a forming hole to allow the dust in the storage tank to flow in; and a first rod and a second rod that are opposed to each other, wherein the first rod and the second rod are driven to reciprocate by advancing into and withdrawing from the forming hole, and advance into the forming hole to compress the dust in the forming hole, wherein the first rod includes a rod tip and a rod base. The axially vertical cross-section of the rod tip of the first rod is larger than the axially vertical cross-section of the rod base of the first rod and is made smaller than the axially vertical cross-section of the forming hole.
