Extrusion method
Abstract
Abstract Method and apparatus for the extrusion of thermoplastic materials. First and second worm-type extruders are provided, the first being designed to produce a uniformly extrudable material and having a capacity in excess of that of the second. the uniformly extrudable material discharged from the first extruder enters pressure relief and control means from which it is fed into the second extruder, to the extend of its lesser capacity, at a constant pressure. Excess material discharged from the first extruder passes through an orifice and is returned by feedback means to a preferred position in the feb means for the first extruder. The material fed into the second extruder is discharged therefrom at a uniform volumetric extrusion rate, thereby providing a metering effect, and without significant physical or dimensional variations in the extrudate.
