Abstract: An extrusion conveying apparatus, including an extruder that operates as a mixing device and is laterally supplied with components that are to be mixed, in particular components of a rubber mixture or thermoplastic elastomer. A volumetrically operating conveyor, in particular a gear pump, is connected to the output side of the extruder. A rotational speed or feed rate of the extruder is adjustable independently of the feed rate and volume flow of the conveyor. n?1 volumetric subsidiary conveyors are provided for passage of components therethrough where there are n components of a mixture. In particular component n is supplied in an undosed manner. A rotational speed or feed rate of the subsidiary conveyors is adjustable independently of the feed rate of the volumetrically operating conveyor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gear pump which is suitable for delivering highly viscous materials. The aim of the invention is to provide a gear pump having a low-wear and low-maintenance bearing system, high output and good self-cleaning properties. For this purpose, the gear pump according to the invention comprises a housing, a gear section comprising a sun wheel and a plurality of stationarily mounted planet wheels, an input screw section comprising an input screw shaft linked with the sun wheel in a rotationally fixed manner and an input transfermix area, and an output screw section comprising an output screw shaft linked with the sun wheel in a rotationally fixed manner and an output transfermix area. The screw shafts, in the transfermix areas, have flight depths that decrease toward the gear section.

Abstract: An extruder is provided having a transfer region that, in an extruder sleeve, is provided with ribs between which extend flow channels. Disposed opposite the sleeve flow channels are flow channels formed in the extruder screw, and the sum of the cross-sections of the flow channels, when viewed in the direction of extrusion, is shifted toward the sleeve and then toward the screw. The ribs (20) of the extrusion sleeve (12) at the ridges facing the screw (14) have a width that is at least one third, especially at least one half, and preferably approximately 80 to 100% of the width of the flow channels (22). Provided between the ridges of the ribs (20) of the extruder sleeve (12) and of the screw (14) is a gap (24) of more than 0.5%, in particular of about one percent of the diameter of the screw (14).
