  • Apparatus for processing scrap cross-linked thermoset elastomeric material
    Patent number: 8790106
    Abstract: An apparatus for processing thermoset cross-linked elastomeric scrap material has a batch-operated high shear mixer for inducing chemical reactions to partly devulcanize the material in a first devulcanizing stage. A continuously-operated multi-screw cooled extruder receives the partly devulcanized material from the high shear mixer and further devulcanizes the material by a mechanical shearing action in a second stage to produce an extruded product for revulcanization.

  • Machine for injecting a heat curable material, in particular for rubber vulcanisation, and corresponding method for achieving same
    Patent number: 8211349
    Abstract: An injection molding machine includes means for plasticizing rubber material and injectors for injecting the material in a fluid state into a flow channel having at least one outlet in communication with an internal volume of a mold. The flow channel is provided with at least one inverter device for inverting a radial temperature profile in the flow of the fluid material, between upstream and downstream ends of the at least one inverter device.
