Disclosed is a preparation method for corncob-shaped HNT-PANI/PP, specifically comprising: polymerizing aniline in situ on cleaned HNTs in an ice-water bath; mixing corncob-shaped HNT-PANI composite powder obtained by vacuum drying and PP plastic in a high-speed mixer in a certain ratio, performing extrusion granulation by using a twin-screw extruder, and performing injection molding by using an injection molding machine to prepare standard sample strips of an HNT-PANI/PP composite material. The corncob-shaped HNT-PANI composite material prepared according to the present invention has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and flame retardance, the mechanical properties of the composite material can be improved, electrical and flame-retardant properties of PP engineering materials can be improved, and thus the application field of PP is greatly broadened.

Melting kettles for use on vehicles for continuous processing of material for applying lines, stripes, bitumen, crack sealant or the like. The kettles disclosed herein provide heat transfer by use of oil jacketed tanks. A coil may be placed along a lower section for heat transfer through a burner for heating recirculated oil. A coil may be placed in a lower section and an upper section for heating an oil jacket, as well as heat transfer from the entire circumference of a coil placed in the upper section. An upper coil can be fluidly coupled to a lower coil and positioned within the chamber a spaced apart distance from the interior wall of the melter kettle. A mixer system rotates paddles to cause continuous transfer of material around the upper coil. The melter kettle is cylindrical, but can be corrugated to increase heatable surface area.

A melting kettle for processing of thermoplastic material. The kettle disclosed herein obtains heat transfer by use of an oil jacketed tank with an adjoining main tank for storage of hot oil and a hose tank for recovery of the hot oil. Oil expelled from the oil jacket is directed to the main tank through an opening. Spillage of oil from the hose tank is directed to the main tank through an aperture. The melting kettle reduces the space needed for oil storage, and increases operator safety by eliminating additional transfer lines. Dual kettles benefit by having the adjoining main tank placed therebetween.
