A method for forming an article includes providing a sheet of material, optionally conditioning the sheet with a surface of a roller, forming the sheet to provide a web, and separating an article from the web to provide the article. An apparatus adapted to form the article from a sheet is provided.

The invention relates to a method for producing a guiding rod for a pump for dispensing a fluid product. The rod includes a cylindrical body surmounted by a head. The method a plastic injection molding step to form the cylindrical rod. The method also includes a step of correcting the shape of an upper end of the rod so as to form the head by creating a shoulder at the level of the junction between the head of rod and body.

A strip-shape softened resin sheet (S) which is continuously extruded from a molten resin extruder is cut to a unit resin sheet and a press molded product is manufactured by press-molding the unit resin sheet in a press-molding machine 20. Prior to press-molding the unit resin sheet (U) by the press-molding machine, the unit resin sheet (U) is heated by a heating machine 16. The heating machine 16 comprises a first heating furnace 84 and a second heating furnace 86. The first heating furnace 84 includes a series of heaters 84-3 and 84-4 whose heat source is infrared ray in a far-infrared region and the second heating furnace 86 includes a series of heaters 86-3 and 86-4 whose heat source is the infrared ray in a middle-infrared region. In the first furnace 84, the unit resin sheet (U) is continuously conveyed with a low velocity and is gradually heated by the far-infrared ray up to temperature which is slightly lower than the temperature which is suitable for press-molding the unit resin sheet (U). In the second furnace 86, the unit resin sheet (U) is stopped and is rapidly heated by the middle-infrared ray. By efficiently heating the unit resin sheet (U), a cycle time can be shortened and the production speed can be improved.

A method for manufacturing a plastic container by internal pressure forming including positioning a tubular preform between the die parts of a molding die having a die cavity; closing the molding die and forming or preforming a container from the preform using internal pressure, wherein a peripheral portion of the preform is pressed out of the die cavity through a die gap; laterally withdrawing the peripheral portion pressed out of the die cavity, as a result of which the container is divided into two container halves; and thermally separating plastic bridges and/or plastic threads which arise during the lateral withdrawal of the peripheral portion. Also disclosed is a molding die suitable for carrying out the method.

A composite rebar having ridges formed therein by grinding is buffed and/or coated to reduce the surface roughness caused by fibers extending from the rebar.

A feed device for automatically feeding a material web from a first stretching unit to a second stretching unit is disclosed having a conveying device configured to transfer at least one strip of the material web that exits the first stretching unit to a transport device of the second stretching unit.

A multi-layer film comprising, an outer two layers of the multi-layer film comprising a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) butene resin, a next two inwardly successive layers of the multi-layer film comprising a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) hexene resin, wherein at least one of the next two inwardly successive layers comprises one or more recycled resin components, wherein at least one of the one or more recycled resin components are filtered using continuous filtration, a core layer of the multi-layer film comprising a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) hexene resin, and at least one edge of the multi-layer film comprising a folded edge.

Provided is a mesh-patterned resin molded product (10) used for encasing and protecting a hollow piping member provided in a vehicle or a small ship. The mesh-patterned resin molded product (10), in a case of an ordinary state where no load is applied to the mesh-patterned resin molded product (10), includes a plurality of first resin wired portions (11) that extend parallel to each other, and a plurality of second resin wired portions (12) that extend parallel to each other in a direction respectively intersecting the first resin wired portions (11). Each of the first resin wired portions (11) and each of the second resin wired portions (12) are joined to each other on a joint portion (13) positioned at a mutual intersection portion. At the intersection portion, a direction passing through both axial centers of the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) and being orthogonal to both the axial centers is set as an orthographic projection direction P. When the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) are viewed in the orthographic projection direction P, a second surface area that is a surface area of the joint portion (13) between the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12) is smaller than a first surface area that is an overlapping surface area between the first resin wired portion (11) and the second resin wired portion (12). The plurality of first resin wired portions (11) and the plurality of second resin wired portions (12) are formed of a material including a thermoplastic resin.

A method for forming an article includes providing a sheet of material, optionally conditioning the sheet with a surface of a roller, forming the sheet to provide a web, and separating an article from the web to provide the article. An apparatus adapted to form the article from a sheet is provided.
