Abstract: Foamed polyester extrusion equipment has two co-rotating screws defining with an internal walls of an insulated frame, first degassing zone between a feeding zone at a feeding inlet for polyester and a first tight zone, a second degassing zone downstream of the first degassing zone, foaming agent inlet zone downstream of the second degassing zone and a pumping end zone for melted material downstream of the foaming agent zone. The first degassing zone carries out forced atmospheric degassing at lower temperature and has a first vent stack adjacent the first tight zone. The second degassing zone carries out vacuum degassing at a temperature equal to or greater than the melting point of the treated polyester material. The first degassing zone has, upstream of the first vent stack, a nozzle for inlet of preheated nitrogen gas to entrain vapours.

Abstract: A foamed polyester extrusion process and equipment can be used in plants for producing sheets, boards or tubes of foamed polyester, preferably of the type operating continuously which has a thermoregulated frame provided with a feeding inlet of pure and/or recycled polyester material inside the frame. Two co-rotating screws are arranged inside the frame, the co-rotating screws defining, with the internal walls of the frame, a first degassing zone interposed between a feeding zone placed at the feeding inlet and a first tight zone. A second degassing zone is placed downstream from the first degassing zone and is separated from the latter through the first tight zone. A foaming agent inlet zone is placed downstream from the second degassing zone and is separated from the latter through a second tight zone and a pumping end zone of the melted material is placed downstream from the foaming agent inlet zone.
