A kneader includes a kneader main body including a casing including a kneading chamber and a kneading portion that is disposed in the casing and kneads a material in the kneading chamber. The material supplied to the kneading chamber includes a resin material, an inorganic additive added to the resin material, and a coupling agent for enhancing affinity of the inorganic additive for the resin material. The kneader further includes a kneading monitoring portion that monitors a kneading state of the material by detecting a reaction product that is generated by a reaction between the coupling agent and the inorganic additive.

A system for opening and closing a mixing manifold includes a drive motor, a cam plate, and a valving rod connector. The drive motor imparts movement in first and second directions. Movement imparted in the first direction causes the cam plate to move linearly in a third direction and movement imparted in the second direction causes the cam plate to move linearly in a fourth direction. Movement of the cam plate in the third direction causes the valving rod connector to move linearly in a fifth direction and movement of the cam plate in the fourth direction causes the valving rod connector to move linearly in a sixth direction. Movement of the valving rod connector in the fifth direction causes retraction of a valving rod of the mixing manifold and movement of the valving rod connector in the sixth direction causes extension of the valving rod.

A method of making a homogeneous mixture of polyolefin solids and carbon solids without melting the polyolefin solids during the making. The method comprises applying acoustic energy at a frequency of from 20 to 100 hertz to a heterogeneous mixture comprising the polyolefin solids and the carbon solids for a period of time sufficient to substantially intermix the polyolefin solids and the carbon solids together while maintaining temperature of the heterogeneous mixture below the melting temperature of the polyolefin solids, thereby making the homogeneous mixture without melting the polyolefin solids.

The invention relates to a system for analyzing material systems by which a product is achieved which is highly viscous or solid at ambient conditions, the system (1) comprising a processing unit (3) for processing the viscous medium and at least one feeding device (7; 9) for feeding starting materials into the processing unit (3), the feeding device (7; 9) being established such that the amount of the starting material or the starting material can be varied, and the processing unit (3) further comprises an outlet (13) which is connected to a device (15) for producing pellets or test specimens if the product is solid at ambient conditions or to a dosing pump for transferring the product into a collecting vessel if the product is highly viscous at ambient conditions

Provided is a shaping material supply device for use in a three-dimensional shaping apparatus, which includes a first flow path through which a shaping material flows, a nozzle that communicates with the first flow path and discharges the shaping material, and a flow rate regulation mechanism that includes a butterfly valve provided in the first flow path.

An extrusion equipment adapted for supercritical foaming and mixing of a raw material includes a mixing unit, an injection unit for injection of supercritical fluid into the mixing unit, and an extrusion unit for extrusion of the raw material. The mixing unit includes a tube for input of the raw material, and a propelling screw rod and an auxiliary screw rod that are disposed side by side in the tube and that cooperatively compress and propel the raw material. The auxiliary screw rod rotates at a speed at least twice that of the propelling screw rod and in a direction opposite to that of the propelling screw rod.

A protection tube thermocouple (5) includes a thermocouple (52), and a protection tube (51) which accommodates the thermocouple (52). The protection tube (51) includes a conical portion (511) formed on a front end (54) side of the protection tube (51); and a hollow portion (53) which extends in the length direction of the protection tube (51) for connecting between a front end (54) and a rear end (55) of the protection tube (51) in the inside of the protection tube (51), and into which the thermocouple (52) is received. The hollow portion (53) in the conical portion (511) has a tapered portion (532) configured such that the sectional area of the hollow portion (53) decreases toward the front end (54).

The present invention discloses a manufacturing method of a color decorative plate for an integral bathroom. Firstly, a decorative fiber cloth is immersed and a surfacing material is prepared, wherein the steps include: adding various auxiliaries to an unsaturated polyester resin; uniformly mixing to form a resin paste, wherein the auxiliaries contain an initiator, a mold discharging agent, an accelerator, a coupling agent, a crosslinking monomer and cinnamene; uniformly coating the above resin paste on the decorative fiber cloth; precuring and drying at 105 C. to 130 C. to produce the surfacing material; then compression moulding; feeding a sheet molding compound (SMC) into a mould; and laying the surfacing material on the SMC in the mould for integral compression moulding. In the compression moulding process, a mold cavity is at an upper part and a mold core is at a lower part to prevent decorative patterns from deforming because the decorative fiber cloth is stretched due to the flow of the SMC and to avoid wrinkling the decorative fiber cloth. The SMC is used as a structural layer, and the surfacing material is attached to a surface of the structural layer. The patterns on the surface of a finished product have high clarity and brightness.
