Disclosed is a device for processing plastic materials, having a shredding unit, a conveying unit having a screw (7), and an extruder, having at least one extruder screw (11), adjoining the screw, wherein the central longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is oriented at an angle to the central longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11), in particular at an angle of 80° to 100°, preferably 90°, and the longitudinal axis (3) of the screw (7) is offset with respect to the longitudinal axis (10) of the extruder screw (11) by an offset (v) in the direction of the direction of rotation (12) of the extruder screw (11) at or in the region of the discharge opening (8) or the intake opening (16) of the conveying unit.

A single-screw extruder for changing a morphology of superabsorbent polymer gel. The single-screw extruder has an input aperture, a channel, a screw and an output aperture. The screw in the invention has a first pitch value of a pitch of the screw flights along the conveying zone of the channel and, following in conveying direction, has a second pitch value of the pitch of the screw flights along the conveying zone of the channel, where the second pitch value is smaller than the first pitch value.

A worm shaft for a mixing and kneading machine particularly for continual processing having a shaft bar, on the circumferential surface of which blade elements are arranged to be spaced apart from one another extending outwards from the circumferential surface of the shaft bar, wherein the blade elements are arranged on the circumferential surface of the shaft bar, at least in one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, in two rows extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, and wherein each of the blade elements of the at least one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft has an elliptic, oval, or biconvex outer peripheral surface in the top view.

A screw has a spiral blade for extruding and kneading a high-silica plastic elastomer containing not less than 100 phr of silica. The screw has a first section located on the most downstream side in the extrusion direction and provided with a barrier extending between the adjacent spiral blade threads, while inclining with respect to the screw axial direction. The length of the barrier is 1.5 to 3.0 times the lead length of the spiral blade in the first section. The height of the barrier is 2 to 10 mm lower than the height of the spiral blade. The barrier thickness is 0.9 to 3.0 times the height difference between the spiral blade and barrier.

The devices relate to the nuclear, metallurgical, mining, machine-building and food industries and may be used in producing semi-finished products and items made via the extrusion of powders of composite, polymer and other plastic masses. A device for producing semi-finished products or items made of composite, or polymer, or plasticized powder materials includes a screw press with a housing and a screw within the housing. The housing and the screw each have at least one deformational portion with protrusions and may each be formed integrally with the protrusions or may be formed compositionally, having special insertable rings which are provided with protrusions. In carrying out all three device variants, the housing and the screw are formed compositionally, and have provided, on the deformational portions of a ring, stators, which are secured to neighboring portions of the housing, and rotors, which are secured to neighboring portions of the screw.

A worm shaft for a mixing and kneading machine particularly for continual processing having a shaft bar, on the circumferential surface of which blade elements are arranged to be spaced apart from one another extending outwards from the circumferential surface of the shaft bar, wherein the blade elements are arranged on the circumferential surface of the shaft bar, at least in one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, in two rows extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, and wherein each of the blade elements of the at least one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft has an elliptic, oval, or biconvex outer peripheral surface in the top view.

There is disclosed a member for sealing, baffling and/or reinforcing components of an automotive vehicle. The assembly generally includes a carrier, an expandable material and at least one fastener.

A vertical household noodle maker includes a base, a stirring container connected to the base, a stirring rod longitudinally arranged in the stirring container, an extrusion cylinder horizontally arranged at one side below the stirring container, a spiral rod arranged in the extrusion cylinder, an extrusion die and a control unit. The stirring rod includes a rod body and a stirring blade. The motor rotates the stirring rod and the spiral rod, and a feeding inlet in communication with the extrusion cylinder is provided at a bottom of the stirring container. An inner wall of the stirring container is provided with a cutting rod, and a projection of the cutting rod at least partially overlaps with a projection of the stirring blade in the horizontal direction when the stirring blade is driven by the motor to rotate to a position of the cutting rod.

With a mixing and kneading machine (100), wherein a worm shaft (12) moves in a housing (10) in a rotating manner and moves back and forth in a translatory movement, receptacles for kneading elements (12) are distributed non-uniformly. It is thereby possible to equip the receptacles with varying numbers of kneading elements. Quick adaptation is also thereby possible. In one embodiment, the number of kneading elements even varies over the extension direction of the mixing and kneading machine (100).

A worm shaft for a mixing and kneading machine in particular for continuous preparation processes, comprising a shaft rod, on the circumferential surface of which blade elements are arranged which are spaced apart from one another and which extend outward from the circumferential surface of the shaft rod, wherein the blade elements are arranged on the shaft rod, at least in one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, in three rows extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft, wherein at least one of the blade elements of one of the rows is different from one of the blade elements of one of the other rows, and/or the rows of blade elements, viewed in cross-section of the shaft rod, are distributed irregularly over the circumference defined by the outer circumferential surface of the shaft rod, and wherein the angular distance between the midpoints M of the outer circumferential surfaces of the blade elements on the circumferential surface of the shaft rod of adjacent rows differs between at least two of the three rows of the at least other two rows, and including wherein, for example, each of the blade elements of the at least one section extending in the axial direction of the worm shaft has a longitudinal extension which extends in an angle of 45° to 135° to the axial direction of the worm shaft.
