An injection head for an apparatus for the production of twin-wall pipes has an external melt channel leading to an external nozzle and an internal melt channel leading to an internal nozzle. From the internal melt channel, a conically expanding internal nozzle channel leads to an internal nozzle outlet of the internal nozzle. In the region of the internal nozzle channel, an internal nozzle adjustment device is arranged by means of which the gap cross-section of the internal nozzle channel is displaceable and adjustable up to the internal nozzle outlet by radial displacement.

An apparatus of manufacturing a rubber member includes an extruder; a mouthpiece; and a support surface which faces the mouthpiece in an opposed manner. The support surface and the mouthpiece are moved relative to each other thus molding a rubber member on the support surface. The apparatus further includes: a rubber pool portion formed between the mouthpiece and the support surface; and a closing surface having an inclined surface shape and capable of closing a moving-direction front side of the rubber pool portion. A rubber material is ejected from an ejection port in a state where the rubber pool portion is closed by the closing surface, the support surface and the mouthpiece are moved relative to each other after the rubber pool portion is filled with the rubber material, and a lamination starting end of the rubber material is pressed to the closing surface thus molding the lamination starting end into an inclined surface and, thereafter, the closing surface is moved in a direction away from the support surface.

The invention aims to increase concentricity compared to conventional centering methods in a 3D extrusion cycle, using a pressure-controlled or floating centering lance. The invention proposes a device (10) for moulding an elongate component (44), comprising: a moulding arrangement (12) with at least one gate point; and a mould insert (22) that can be received in said moulding arrangement (12) and displaced along a displacement axis (V) relative to the gate point (18), said mould insert (22) at least partly delimiting a cavity (28) in which a solidifying moulding compound (21) added via the gate point (18) can be received, and said device (10) additionally comprising a centering element (34) which is configured to receive an elongate component (44) and guide it along a centering axis (Z) into said cavity (28). The device (10) is also accompanied by a method for moulding an elongate component (44).

A method for replacing one or more components of a lip adjustment assembly mounted to a die body of an extrusion die is disclosed. Initially, a translating unit of the lip adjustment assembly is accessed through an exposed end of the lip adjustment assembly. Then, an adjustment actuator is removed from a translator of the translating unit. The translator is decoupled from a rod of the translating unit so that the translator is removable from the lip adjustment assembly and with respect to the rod. Next, the translator is removed from the lip adjustment assembly and a first component of the translating unit is replaced with a second component of the translating unit.

An extrusion device includes a cylinder, a raw material feed port, a screw incorporated in cylinder, a die disposed at one end of the cylinder, and adjustment mechanisms. Raw material feed port supplies raw materials including resin into cylinder. Screw is able to melt the raw materials through kneading. Die includes a plurality of through-holes for ejecting strands made of molten resin supplied from cylinder. Adjustment mechanisms individually adjust ejection amounts of the strands ejected from the plurality of through-holes.

In a method of manufacturing objects, extrudable ceramic forming material is extruded through multiple dies arrayed around an extrusion axis, the dies mounted to permit controlled movement of the dies during the course of extrusion to vary the position of several extrudate streams exiting the dies. Extruded objects are defined by spokes corresponding to the extrudate streams with the streams having a varying spacing from a central axis.

A method for identifying an angle of roll for a multi-nozzle extruder includes moving the extruder in a first process direction to form a first set of swaths of extrusion material using two nozzles in the extruder and moving the extruder in a second process direction to form a second set of swaths of extrusion material. The method further includes identifying a location of one nozzle relative to the other nozzle in two dimensions based on cross-process direction distances between the first and second sets of swaths and identifying the angle of extruder roll for the extruder based on the location of the one nozzle and a predetermined geometry of the extruder.

A rubber extrusion device includes a sensor which detects a deviation from a preset reference position of a rubber extrudate extruded from an extrusion port. Based on this detection data, a control unit provides control for correction of the deviation by adjusting a position of a die relative to a head along a leading end surface of the head or a rotational speed of a screw. A rubber material is mixed and kneaded while being extruded forward by a screw installed inside a cylinder. Resultant unvulcanized rubber is fed into an extrusion flow path and extruded from the extrusion port formed in the die.

In an embodiment, the present invention provides an extrusion device for producing a profile from plasticizable material, including at least one extruder head, in which the plasticized material can be supplied to a gap which is delimited by at least one roller and at least one bar that bears against a bearing surface in a predefined position via a fixing element in an operating position of the extrusion device. The fixing element includes a flat pressure-transmitting element which, in the operating position, can be placed against a pressure surface of the bar that is opposite the bearing surface, the pressure-transmitting element including a double-armed lever, which is pivotable about at least one axis, in order to compensate for a possible deviation from the predefined parallel orientation of the pressure-transmitting element with respect to the pressure surface of the bar.

A rubber extrusion device includes a head mounted with a die having: an extrusion port variable member disposed at a front end position of an extrusion flow path to move in a direction allowing an area of an extrusion port to change; and a rectifying body that enters and exits the extrusion flow path from a front end side of the extrusion flow path. A rubber extrudate is manufactured by: positioning the extrusion port variable member at a desired position in its movement direction; positioning the rectifying body at a desired position by moving the rectifying body in an extension direction of the extrusion flow path while being in contact with an inner wall of the extrusion flow path; and extruding unvulcanized rubber from the extrusion port by feeding the unvulcanized rubber into the extrusion flow path.
