Disclosed is a system for pelletizing Solid Refuse Fuel (SRF). The system includes: a first crusher that primarily crushes plastic waste; a vibration sieve plate-conveyer that transports plastic waste that is primarily crushed by the first crusher; a second crusher that secondarily crushes the primarily crushed plastic waste sieved by the vibration sieve plate-conveyer; a first rotational shaft equipped with a first screw that fuses and transports the plastic waste which is secondarily crushed by the second crusher; a filter unit that is combined with the first rotational shaft and which removes impurities by filtering the secondarily crushed plastic waste that is fused and transported by the first screw; a second rotational shaft equipped with a second screw that transports impurity-free plastic waste filtered by the filter unit; and a molding machine that molds the plastic waste transported by the second screw.

A plant and method for making continuous yarns made of silicone material comprises at least an extrusion station, into which the material is introduced in an amorphous condition, and extrusion means which cause the material to exit from the extrusion station along an extrusion axis. The plant also comprises a vulcanization station, located downstream of the extrusion station, at a determinate distance therefrom, in which the continuous yarn is vulcanized in a direction of treatment. The plant also comprises a drawing unit, disposed downstream of the vulcanization station.

In order to provide a twin-screw extruder that can also be effectively used for a use, such as straining, since suppressing an increase in load power and the generation of heat of a material in a hopper unit and increasing pressure for extruding a material from a material outlet in a compression unit, the size of the lead angle of a screw blade at the position of the compression unit is set to be larger than the size of the lead angle of the screw blade at the position of the hopper unit 11 and the screw blade is disposed at the position of the compression unit so as to be wound two or more times.

The present invention relates to a filtering device for fluids, in particular thermoplastics, comprising a screen carrier (2) which has a rotationally cylindrical outer face (41) and is mounted rotatably in a rotationally cylindrical recess (5), adapted to its circumference, of a stationary housing (3) and in which a number of screening nests (6) having filter arrangements (7) are formed along its circumference. According to the invention, there is provision whereby the screen carrier (2) is penetrated by a rotationally cylindrical core part (1) and is mounted rotatably on this, the core part (1) and the housing (3) being designed to be stationary and fixed in terms of rotation with respect to the rotatable screen carrier (2).

Novel extruded ceiling fan blades, compositions and methods of making the blades from plastic material such as polystyrene are disclosed. The blades can be formed from two extruders so that different colors and/or finishes, such as wood grain looks can be formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the blades.

A method is disclosed for manufacturing connectable or non-connectable elongate porous plastic profiles 12 from substantially continuous randomised extruded plastic strands made of recycled thermoplastics. Current manufacturing processes can manufacture similar products, comprising short partially melted plastic particles melded together forming planks. These planks, however, are inherently friable, easily broken and not readily connectable. These shortcomings are caused by the manufacturing method used, being friction plate agglomeration. This invention utilises an extrusion process, which produces substantially endless random strands of thermoplastic 13 which drop and are welded together to form a porous mass, which is then compressed into boards or planks by pulling the mass through a forming tool 6 and 7. The profile can be adjusted to form edge recesses allowing the planks to be fitted together, for instance to form area coverings, or they can simply be laid end to end to form drainage channels.

The invention relates to a device (2) for filtering a liquid plastic, with a housing (4) with an inlet (6) for introducing the plastic and an outlet (8) for discharging the plastic, a screen carrier (12) accommodated in the housing (4) and having a screen chamber (10) for accommodating a filter element (14), a filter element (14) arranged in the screen chamber (10) of the screen carrier (12) and having a filter side (16) and a clean side (18), the filter element (14) being connectable to the inlet (6) and the outlet (8) in such a way that the plastic passes through and is filtered by the filter element (14) in a filtering flow direction (56) from the filter side (16) to the clean side (18) and wherein the filter element (14) can be cleaned by backwashing by plastic flowing counter to the filtering flow direction (56), a backwashing feed channel (20) fluidly connected to the clean side (18) of the filter element (14), which feed channel (20) is set up for this purpose, the filter element (14) against the direction of filtration flow (56), and a backwash discharge channel (22) which is fluid conductively connected to the filter side (16) of the filter element (14) and which is arranged to discharge the backwashed plastic after it has passed the filter element (14). According to the invention, a backwash screen support (24) fluidly connected to the backwash discharge channel (22) is proposed, comprising a screen chamber (26) for receiving a backwash filter element (28) and a backwash filter element (28) arranged in the screen chamber (26) and adapted to filter the backwashed plastic.

A filtering device for filtering a fluid, in particular a liquefied plastic, includes a housing having a receptacle for receiving a screen carrier and having a fluid inlet channel and a fluid outlet channel, a screen carrier movably received along a longitudinal axis inside the receptacle and having a screen carrier inlet, a screen carrier outlet and a cavity for receiving a filter element, wherein the cavity is in fluid communication with the screen carrier inlet and the screen carrier outlet, and the screen carrier can be moved from a screen replacement position via a venting position area into a filtering position. The screen carrier has a throttle recess which is arranged adjacent to the screen carrier outlet and is in fluid communication with the cavity, and which opens a variable flow cross-section between the cavity and the fluid outlet channel.
