The purpose of the present invention is to provide a molded article and a manufacturing method for a molded article by which it is possible to mitigate deformation of an opening. The present invention provides a molded article comprising a cylindrical base and an opening provided in the base, wherein a rib is provided adjacent to the opening. The present invention provides a manufacturing method for a molded article that includes a molded body formation step for forming a molded body having a cylindrical portion provided at one end thereof with an occlusion by molding a melted resin, and a cut-off step for cutting off the occlusion by cutting the cylindrical portion, wherein in the cut-off step, the cutting is performed in a state where a side wall of the cylindrical portion is warped in-plane by an external force.

An encapsulant compound apparatus, includes a mechanical operator, and an insert disposed on a surface of the mechanical operator. The insert operates to capture foreign material in the encapsulant compound.

The extrusion installation is configured for manufacturing a complex profiled-element strip, such as a tread, based on elastomer compounds by co-extrusion, and comprises multiple extruders feeding elastomer compounds to an extrusion head. The extrusion head receives a proportion of elastomer compound of between 2 and 25% of the total volumetric throughput of the installation from at least one Archimedean-screw extruder and the rest from positive-displacement extruders.

Methods and an apparatus are presented. A bulk molding compound is consolidated by sending the bulk molding compound through a die breaker and an extrusion die of a consolidation system.

The invention provides a apparatus for reworking of non-vulcanised rubber or de-vulcanized rubber from a rubber component, preferably a rubber tire, to produce recycled rubber. The apparatus comprises a gear pump configured to receive and filter the rubber to produce filtered rubber and a mixer-extruder configured to homogenize and extrude the filtered rubber to produce recycled rubber.

An encapsulant compound apparatus, includes a mechanical operator, and an insert disposed on a surface of the mechanical operator. The insert operates to capture foreign material in the encapsulant compound.

A mold which can improve an appearance of a molded body is provided. A mold includes a cavity, the mold being capable of subjecting a resin sheet under reduced pressure suction via a plurality of reduced pressure suction holes thereby shaping the resin sheet to follow a shape of an inner surface of the cavity; wherein: the inner surface includes a base surface and a plurality of island-like concave portions provided in the base surface; and a concave portion reduced pressure suction hole index defined by an in-concave reduced pressure suction hole ratio divided by a concave portion area ratio is 0.5 or lower.

A resin infusion method that incorporates a melt-on-demand approach. The method includes: (a) providing a curable resin composition in the form of a block of frozen resin (20); (b) coupling the block of frozen resin (20) to an inlet port of a heated extruder (22), which comprises at least one rotating screw (24) housed within a heated barrel (25); (c) progressively melting the block of frozen resin (20) at the inlet port and concurrently feeding the melt resin through the heated barrel (25) to produce a liquid resin having a viscosity suitable for resin infusion; (d) continuously feeding the liquid resin exiting from the extruder to a mold, which contains a fibrous preform; and (e) introducing the liquid resin into the fibrous preform, wherein the block of frozen resin (20) provides an amount of resin composition sufficient for infusing the entire fibrous preform.

A manufacturing method of a structure by which a target member can be easily positioned with high accuracy. In a tilting step, at least one target member is positioned by tilting a positioning table and sliding the target member placed on the positioning table to bring the target member into contact with a locking portion.

Recently, we have introduced 3D-micro-patterned pharmaceutical dosage forms for enhancing the efficacy, safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness of drug therapies. Presented herein are an apparatus and a method for the manufacture of such dosage forms. The apparatus comprises at least a first extruder and at least a second extruder. The first extruder comprises an extruder channel having an exit port with a valve mated to an input port of a second extruder. Said second extruder comprises a translatable piston for extruding plasticized fiber at controlled speed. The apparatus further comprises a stage movable at the controlled speed of the extruded fiber for depositing said fiber to a three dimensional structural framework. The method includes extruding plasticized matrix from a first extruder into a second extruder, extruding said plasticized matrix from the second extruder through a fiber fabrication exit port at controlled speed to form extruded fiber, and depositing said extruded fiber onto a fiber assembling stage to form a three dimensional structural framework.
