Abstract: An extrusion head for at least one extruder including a first head part having a first joint and a second head having a second joint wherein the first head part and the second head part are pivotable with respect to each other using the respective first joint and second joint. When the extrusion head is in an operative position, the first head part rests against a first sealing face and the second head part rests against a second sealing face. A drive element is connected to the first head part and the second head part using a connecting element. The first head part and the second head part are movable using the drive element from a fixed operative position into an open rest position.

Abstract: An extrusion head for an extrusion installation for extruding plastic material and having two, three or four extrusion cylinders has a stationary part which is fixedly mounted on the discharge ends of the extrusion cylinders and has flow channels for directing extrudate leading from the cylinders to a central extrusion location at which there is a seat for an extrusion die. Two movable extrusion head parts are hinged on the stationary part for movement between a closed position in which the movable extrusion head parts define an extrusion orifice for the extrudate and hold the extrusion die on its seat and an open position for cleaning. The movable extrusion head parts are moved between open and closed position by piston-cylinder units having cylinders pivotally mounted on the stationary part and having piston rods pivotally connected to lugs on the movable extrusion head parts.
