Patent number: 5633296Abstract: The method for manufacturing rubber mixtures includes the steps of plasticizing batchwise rubber in a first inner kneader to produce a batch of plasticized rubber and transporting the batch of plasticized rubber, while still hot, into a second inner kneader. In the second kneader nonreactive additives are mixed into the batch of plasticized rubber.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1995Date of Patent: May 27, 1997Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventor: Julius Peter

Patent number: 5593226Abstract: An apparatus for receiving and transporting material mixed in internal mixers used for processing rubber mixtures. At least one mixer is provided that has a discharge opening at the bottom. A closure that is pivotable about a horizontal axis is provided for opening and closing the discharge opening. At least one receptacle is adapted to be disposed below the discharge opening of the mixer for receiving mixed material from the mixer. After a receptacle has received mixed material from the mixer, and prior to closure of the closure, a receptacle is withdrawn in a closure direction of the closure.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 1995Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventor: Julius Peter

Patent number: 5496107Abstract: An apparatus for preparing rubber mixtures has a ram mixer for mixing rubber and non-reactive additives to form a rubber base mixture and a ramless mixer for finely dispersing the non-reactive additives within the rubber base mixture. The ramless mixer is positioned below the ram mixer and connected to the ram mixer such that the rubber base mixture is directly introduced into the ramless mixer for finely dispersing the non reactive additives. Accordingly, in a ram mixer a batch of rubber and non-reactive additives is mixed to form a rubber base mixture. The rubber base mixture is transferred into the ramless mixer. The ramless mixer serves to finely disperse the non-reactive additives within the rubber base mixture. The rubber mixture with the finally dispersed non-reactive additives is then conveyed to a second mixing stage. In the second mixing stage reactive additives are added and the rubber base mixture together with the reactive additives is finishing-mixed to form a finished rubber mixture.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 1995Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventor: Julius Peter

Patent number: 5415823Abstract: A method of manufacturing a rubber mixture includes the step of mixing at a first temperature in a batchwise operation a base mixture of rubber and non-reactive additives in a ram mixer. In a subsequent step the base mixture is removed from the ram mixer and formed to a strand. The strand is cooled to a temperature at which the strand is still warm. The warm strand is then fed to a ramless mixer and reactive additives are added. In a batchwise operation the base mixture and the reactive additives are mixed at a second temperature that is lower than the first temperature in order to form a finished rubber mixture. Preferably, cooling and feeding of the strand are performed simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1994Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventor: Julius Peter

Patent number: 5368383Abstract: An apparatus for producing rubber mixtures, including a ram kneader for the master batch, and disposed therebelow a ram-less kneader that operates in a batch process and to which the master batch is supplied without intermediate storage thereof. To rapidly cool the master batch in the ram-less kneader and to be able to reliably and rapidly carry out the finish mixing process, only a portion of the active surface of the rotor of the ram-less kneader is provided with a surface wear protection layer. This layer is preferably provided only in the region of the active edges of the raised portions of the rotor, while the remaining portion of the active surface is free of such a wear protection layer.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 1994Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventors: Julius Peter, Gunter Weckerle

Patent number: 5251977Abstract: An apparatus for producing rubber mixtures. A ram kneader that operates in a batch process is provided for producing a master batch. A ram-less kneader for producing a final mixture is disposed below the ram kneader. A chute is disposed between the ram kneader and the ram-less kneader for supplying rubber mixture to the ram-less kneader via an inlet thereof. At least portions of the walls of the chute form closure members that are pivotable downwardly to at least partially close off the inlet of the ram-less kneader.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1992Date of Patent: October 12, 1993Assignees: Julius Peter, Continental AktiengesellschaftInventors: Julius Peter, Gunter Weckerle

Patent number: 5183640Abstract: An apparatus for producing rubber mixtures, comprising: as a master batcher, a ram kneader than operates in a batch-type process; a ram-less final mixer that is disposed below the ram kneader, also operates in a batch-type process, and has a greater volume capacity than does the ram kneader, with the final mixer having a mixing chamber that is provided with rotors; an essentially vertically disposed transfer channel for the transfer of a master batch from the ram kneader to the mixing chamber of the final mixer; and one or more withdrawal or exhaust openings disposed above the mixing chamber of the final mixer in walls of at least one of the transfer channel and the mixing chamber of the final mixer.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 1991Date of Patent: February 2, 1993Assignees: Continental Aktiengesellschaft, Julius PeterInventors: Julius Peter, Gunter Weckerle

Patent number: 5108188Abstract: A method for producing a rubber mixture. In a first stage, in a ram kneader, a master batch is produced, and in a second stage, in a batch-type process, a final mixture is produced in a ram-less kneader, without the need for intermediate storage. To improve the cooling in the ram-less kneader, the interior of this kneader is supplied with air that has such a degree of dryness that a condensation deposit is precluded. To achieve this, an essentially air tight channel is provided between the two kneaders, with a place being provided in the channel for the bottom closure of the ram kneader in a swung-out position of this closure.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1991Date of Patent: April 28, 1992Assignees: Continental Aktiengesellschaft, Julius PeterInventors: Julius Peter, Gunter Weckerle
