Abstract
Abstract A screw extruding machine for extruding a material such as rubber, plastics or the like kneaded and blended into a sheet-like form. The screw extruding machine includes two screws horizontally and rotatably supported on a casing, a top-open hopper provided on the side of a screw base portion of the casing, an outlet opened in an axial direction of the screw on the side of a screw front end of the casing, and a roller die in proximity of the outlet, the screw having a feed portion which corresponds to a portion facing the hopper and a compression portion which corresponds to a front end side, whereby material to be extruded supplied from the hopper is extruded into a sheet-like form by the roller die from the outlet via the feed portion and the compression portion by the rotating twin screws, the hopper being positioned over the feed portion of each screw.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
182 words
A screw extruding machine, comprising: a casing having a screw base portion; a pair of screws horizontally and rotatably supported on said casing; a top-open hopper provided on a side of said screw base portion of said casing; an outlet opened in an axial direction of the screw on the side of a screw front end of said casing; and a roller die located in proximity of said outlet, said screw having a feed portion which corresponds to a portion facing the hopper and a compression portion defined between said feed portion and said outlet, such that material to be extruded supplied from the hopper is extruded into a sheet-like form by said roller die from the outlet via said feed portion and said compression portion by the rotating screws, wherein said screws comprise a pair of screws parallel with each other in the same plane, and said hopper is positioned over said feed portion of each screw, and the length L of the compression portion to the diameter D of each of said screws has the relationship of L/D=0.3 to 0.6.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
A screw extruding machine according to claim 1, wherein said screws assume one of an engaging state or a non-engaging state, and are disposed with a phase angle varied to one of approximately 0° or approximately 180° wherein said phase angles comprise an angle formed by threaded blades on the same cross-section at right angles to the axis of one of said screws depending on the composition and characteristics of the material to be extruded.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A screw extruding machine according to claim 2, wherein the ratio C/S between the outlet width C and the sheet width S is 0.6 or greater.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A screw extruding machine according to claim 1, wherein the ratio A/E between the distance A of a surface at the front end of the outlet and a surface of the roller die, and the diameter E of the roller die is 0.4 or less.
