  • EXTRUSION METHOD AND APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20230201873
    Abstract: Improvements in the extrusion of thermohardenable materials are achieved by cooling the material in the initial zone of the extruder and reducing residence time by use of a prescribed length to diameter ratio and screw speed, particularly useful for intermittent application during robotically controlled mass production.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 28, 2022
    Publication date: June 29, 2023
    Inventors: Vincent Hoff, Christophe Epp

  • Process and Apparatus for Extruding Bands of Material onto a Substrate
    Publication number: 20220118477
    Abstract: A extrusion process and apparatus for the deposition of precise, usually small amounts of extrudate (4) for adhesion to a substrate (1) comprising an extruder (2) positioned close to the substrate (1) and a jet of hot gas (6) directed onto the extrudate (1) between the extruder (2) and the substrate (1) in order to retain the adhesive properties between the extrudate (4) and the substrate (1).
