Abstract: An extruder head has an inner die member (5) housed in a supporting body (2) and provided with a central duct (6) continuously passed through by a semifinished product (7). An outer die member (9) exhibits a shaped housing (10) defining, in cooperation with the inner die member (5), an outflow port (11) for the mixture to be applied to the semifinished product (7). The shaped housing (10) is defined in a centering element (12) rotatably housed, according to an oblique and incident axis relative to the axis of the central duct (6), within an intermediate collar (13) rotating in the supporting body (2) in coaxial relation with the central duct itself. By rotating the centering element (12), the outflow port (11) moves from a centered position to a maximum-eccentricity position with respect to the central duct (6). The rotation of the intermediate collar (13) modifies the orientation of the common plane containing the axes of the outflow port (11) and central duct (6).

Abstract: A filler compound for the spaces between the wires of a stranded conductor surrounded by and contacting a semiconductive layer which is surrounded by a layer of extrudced insulation, a method for filling such spaces with the compounds and an electric cable including such compound. The compound has a polymeric base, a Mooney viscosity at 100.degree. C. between 10 and 60 and a Shore A hardness between 10 and 90. Preferably, the compound includes hygroexpansible, water insoluble organic powder having particle sizes less than 200 microns and specified other characteristics.
