Abstract: A resin extruding and cutting apparatus including a cooling unit adapted to cool extruded strands emerging from a resin extruding nozzle using cold water and having a bottom wall for feeding the strands to a downstream end of the cooling unit therealong, a cutting unit arranged in the vicinity of a downstream end of the cooling unit and adapted to cut the cooled strands into small pieces, a strand guide unit arranged between the cooling unit and the cutting unit and adapted to guide the strands discharged from the cooling unit a nip defined between drawing rollers included in the cut unit, the strand guide unit providing a strand guide surface for guiding the strands discharged from the cooling unit to the nip, a level adjusting assembly mounted to the cutting unit in such a fashion that a level thereof is adjustable with respect to the cutting unit, the level adjusting assembly hingably supporting the strand guide unit in such a fashion that the strand guide unit is hingable with respect to the cutting unit

Abstract: A molten strand feeding device having a strand cutting apparatus. In the device, a movable unit is placed at the upper end of a cooling trough so that it is movable linearly in a direction parallel to the nozzle surface thus improving the strand cutting effect at the very beginning of the molten strand emerging from nozzles. The cooling trough is coupled to a hinged joint at the rear center and is selectively rotatable relative to the nozzle surface so that the device is selectively changed between the horizontal and vertical types. A spring-biased strand cutting apparatus is provided at the upper end of the movable unit so that the cutting apparatus is brought into close contact with the nozzle surface and smoothly moves on the nozzle surface without giving an impact on the nozzle surface, thus improving the strand cutting effect.
