Abstract: A tip adapted to be mounted to the downstream end of an extruder screw. The tip includes a nose section and an extruder screw mount section. The nose section includes an upstream face and a first and second downstream faces. The upstream face has a major plane that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tip, is substantially flat, and has a substantially circular perimeter. The first and second downstream faces have major planes that are substantially flat. The major plane of the first downstream face is at an angle to the major plane of the second downstream face whereby they meet at a juncture located at the outer end of the tip. The extruder screw mount section includes means for attaching the tip to the extruder screw.
