Abstract: The invention relates to a shaping device (3) for shaping and cooling articles produced from a plastic melt, whereby said device can be arranged downstream of an extruder. The shaping device (3) comprises, arranged in an entry area (19), an inlet opening (20) for the plastic melt, at least one channel (21) extending in the direction of an outlet area (22) and having channel walls (23, 24) delimiting the same, and at least one cooling device (27) associated with the channel walls (23, 24). An additional cooling device (28) for the plastic melt to be passed through is provided inside the channel (21) in the area directly adjacent to the inlet area (19).

Abstract: The invention relates to a moulding system (3), in particular a calibration die (17), for an extrusion plant, with preferably parallel inlet and outlet faces (28, 29) spaced at a distance apart and with side faces (30, 31, 32, 33) extending between them. A longitudinal axis for the object to be fed through a calibration orifice (24) is disposed substantially perpendicular to the inlet and outlet face (28, 29). Provided between a shaping surface (25, 26) and a side face (30, 31, 32, 33) is a gap (37, 38) extending at least across a part of the distance between the inlet and outlet face (28, 29). The gap (37, 38) is disposed between several immediately adjacent parts of several shaping surfaces (26) of the calibration orifice (24) and at least one of the side faces (30, 31, 32, 33). At least the parts of the shaping surfaces (26) co-operating with the gap (37, 38) are displaceable relative to the other shaping surfaces (25).

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaping apparatus for an extrusion system with at least one calibration die having a plurality of calibration units (31) disposed one after the other, having a calibration orifice (38) with a plurality of shaping surfaces (39 to 42) which come into contact with an article (6) fed therethrough, and end faces (43) spaced apart from one another with side faces (45 to 48) extending between them. At least one cavity is provided between at least two immediately adjacent calibration units (31). The calibration die is provided with means for dispersing heat. The calibration orifice (38) is provided with at least one continuous circulation passage (67) around a predominant part of and immediately adjacent to its circumference, having a separate inlet and outlet line (68, 69).

Abstract: The forming device (3) for an extrusion plant (1) having at least one calibrating device (9) comprising at least one calibration tool (24 to 27) having a plurality of calibration dies (29 to 37), arranged one after the other in an extrusion direction (7), has at least one calibration orifice (38) with several forming surfaces QQ to 42) The calibration dies (29 to 37) have end faces (43, 44) spaced at a distance apart from one another in the extrusion direction (7). At least one cavity (51) is formed between at least two immediately adjacent calibration dies (29 to 37) extending from the forming surface through to a passage applying a vacuum to the cavity, and the cavity (Si) is open across a predominant part of the, periphery of the calibration orifice (38) towards the calibration orifice (38) bounded by the forming surfaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to an individual track (1), in particular for off-take conveyor devices (2), having a base frame (4) and conveyor means (28) arranged thereon for displacing an elongated component (3) relative to the base frame (4). The conveyor means (28) and the guide elements (33) thereof are arranged on at least one individual guide frame (8 to 10) arranged in the direction of displacement of the component (3) and is mounted so that it can be automatically adjusted relative to the base frame (4) at least in a direction perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the component (3) by means of at least one adjustment drive (11). The adjustment drives (11) of the individual guide frame (8 to 10) are designed to apply a uniform pressure force to the component (3) is it is moved along.
