11613060 · 2023-03-28 · ·

A planetary extruder for producing and processing polymers includes a degassing section. The extruder includes a housing and a bushing arranged therein. The bushing has an internal toothing with a pitch diameter and a root circle. An externally toothed central spindle is arranged within the housing. Planetary spindles rotate about the central spindle between the central spindle and the bushing. A heat transfer fluid is guided through fluid channels which extend helically along an outer surface of the bushing and guide the heat transfer fluid axially. A degassing opening is provided to which a negative pressure is applied for degassing. A minimum radial thickness (t) of the bushing between the root circle of the internal toothing on an inside of the bushing and a bottom of the fluid channels on an outside of the bushing is selected based on the pitch diameter (d) of the internal toothing.

A planetary roller extruder section forms a feed part of an extruder. The planetary roller extruder has an internally toothed housing and an externally toothed central spindle disposed centrally within and at a distance from the housing. Planetary spindles are arranged to rotate in a void between the central spindle and the housing. Each planetary spindle has an external toothing meshing with both the housing and the central spindle. At least one planetary spindle has two axially spaced areas with less than a full set of teeth. Those axially spaced areas include a first area having a first number of teeth and a second area having a second number of teeth. The second number of teeth is less than a full set of teeth and more than the first number of teeth.

Rotary mixer in two-liquid mixture injection machine

Planetary gear mechanisms require internal toothed gears in housings. A drive rotor and driven rotors are accommodated in a mixing space in a housing, and chemical inflow paths to the mixing space are formed in an upper portion of the housing. A mixture outflow path is formed in a lower portion of the housing. The mixing space is formed to allow the drive rotor and the driven rotors to rotate and to regulate the positions of the drive rotor and the driven rotors. Meshing the drive rotor with the driven rotors allows the driven rotors to rotate opposite to the rotating direction of the drive rotor accompanying the rotation of the drive rotor while the lower ends of the driven rotors are located above a bottom portion of the mixing space and the upper ends of the driven rotors are located below the lower surface of the lid body.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MIXING ELASTOMERIC MATERIALS
20230090345 · 2023-03-23 ·

A machine for mixing elastomeric materials with a drive and mixing unit where the mixing chamber is arranged downstream of the drive unit; and a discharge chamber is arranged downstream of the mixing chamber. They communicate towards upstream, and are provided with a discharge opening for discharging the mixture. They include a signal indicating the presence or absence of a mixture. The machine can cause during a mixing step, at least one reversal by the drive unit of a sense of rotation of the rotors and therefore of a sense of advancing movement in the axial direction of the mixture from/towards the mixing chamber and towards/from the discharge chamber, to keep mixing of the mixture active only inside the mixing chamber.
