  • Publication number: 20130248434
    Abstract: Disclosed is a debris filter capable of reducing a pressure loss of coolant as it flows and capturing debris in the coolant. The debris filter includes bent plates, first plates, and second plates, all having respective same shapes, wherein each of the bent plates is composed of a first inclined strip-like plate and a second inclined strip-like plate. The bent plates are arranged parallel with each other, the bent plates and the first plates are fixed with each other so that the first plates intersect each first inclined plate, the bent plates and the second plates are fixed with each other so that the second plates intersect each second inclined plate, and the first plates does not touch the second plates.

  • Patent number: 6777453
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method of reclaiming crosslinked rubber wherein a reduction of qualities due to generation of decomposed products hardly occurs, and a molding of reclaimed rubber. In a reclamation step of reclaiming crosslinked rubber 10 by applying shear stress thereto and/or in a subsequent step in the present invention, a degasification carrier is introduced and decomposed products in the crosslinked rubber 10 are removed together with the degasification carrier. Also the disclosed is a molding of reclaimed rubber prepared by re-crosslinking reclaimed rubber obtained by this method.

  • Patent number: 6632918
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a method of reclaiming crosslinked rubber, which can reclaim various kinds of crosslinked rubbers whose reclamation is difficult. The method of reclaiming crosslinked rubber 10 of the present invention includes a step of reclaiming crosslinked rubber by applying shear stress to the crosslinked rubber 10, wherein the maximum pressure in the reclaiming step is 1.5 MPa or more.

  • Patent number: 6316508
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rubber composition containing a reclaimed rubber and a method for producing the same. A rubber molded article having excellent rubber properties can be obtaining and the recycling of a used rubber product can be promoted by the present invention. A rubber composition of the present invention is a blend comprising a reclaimed rubber obtained by applying a heat and a shear stress to a vulcanized rubber, a non-vulcanized virgin rubber or/and a thermoplastic resin, wherein the reclaimed rubber contains 40% by weight or more of a residual toluene-insoluble gel component and the network chain density of the rubber in the component is 1/20 to 1/4 based on the network chain density of the rubber of the vulcanized rubber.

  • Patent number: 6133413
    Abstract: Devulcanized rubber in which sulfuric crosslinking bonds are cut and which contains carbon black particles having very small diameters. Vulcanized rubber of discarded products is devulcanized by heating it at a temperature of 180.degree. C. --350.degree. C. and applying a shearing pressure of 10-150 kg/cm.sup.2 thereto. Reclaimed rubber products are manufactured by vulcanizing and molding, into desired shapes, a material made of only devulcanized rubber in which sulfuric crosslinking bonds are cut and which contains carbon black particles having very small diameters or a material made of the devulcanized rubber mixed with virgin unvulcanized rubber.
