Patent number: 11724431Abstract: Modular fluid processing apparatuses, modular components and related methods are provided. A fluid processing apparatus for use in fluid processing systems can include a housing comprising first body half and a second body halves that are secured together. The first body half has one or more half bores that extend along a length of the first body half and the second body half has one or more half bores that extend along a length of the second body half with the one or more half bores in the first body half aligning with the one or more half bores in the second body half forming one or more full sleeve-receiving bores. The fluid processing apparatus can include one or more sleeves that are securable between the first and second body halves within the one or more sleeve-receiving bores to form piston pathways within the housing for receiving pistons.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: PSI-Polymer Systems, Inc.Inventor: James Edgar Rosamond, III

Patent number: 10828820Abstract: Extrusion die systems, die changers and related methods are provided herein. The die changer for changing of dies in and out of an extrusion line can include a housing having a main supply feed bore therethrough for directing a flowable material and a channel oriented transversely to the main supply feed bore. The die changer can include a slide plate movable through the channel and transverse to a direction of flow through the bore. The slide plate can include an elongate body having a first section and a second section. A first bore can extend through the first section of the elongate body of the slide plate and a second bore can extend through the second section of the elongate body of the slide plate.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: PSI-Polymer Systems, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Woodcock, David C. Woodcock, James D. Baldwin

Publication number: 20040200784Abstract: A filtration apparatus for use in polymer processing includes a housing having an internal bore for directing polymer flow and a channel oriented transversely to the bore. A slide plate for supporting filters is movable through the channel and across the bore. An annular upstream seal ring sealably contacts the slide plate. A surface of the upstream seal ring facing the upstream direction is angled with respect to the bore. A plurality of ring segments are arranged to form an annular segmented ring. The segmented ring presents a tapered ring surface that is generally complimentarily angled relative to the angled surface of the upstream seal ring. Pressurized polymer flowing through the bore imparts radially forces on the ring segments, causing the ring segments to impart axial forces on the upstream seal ring to enhance the seal interface between the upstream seal ring and the slide plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2003Publication date: October 14, 2004Applicant: PSI-Polymer Systems Inc.Inventor: Howland B.
