  • Patent number: 7290998
    Abstract: The invention relates to a quick set-up system for calibration devices located downstream from an extruder, in particular one for synthetic profiles. With this quick set-up system, a dry gauge and the vacuum tank(s) are mounted on two horizontally positioned tubes that are positively connected to the calibration stage, such that they can be moved and adjusted horizontally and vertically, which enables an exact advance adjustment of the gliding device, and with it, of the vacuum tanks and calibration device, thus eliminating a subsequent alignment. In addition, by installing a central water disposal system, the required replacement of hoses with different lengths when moving the vacuum tanks is avoided.
