Abstract: A die, associated with an extruder and provided with an inwrought flow channel with displacement cores for shaping a plasticized synthetic resin bulk stream into a profile cross-section with hollow chambers, has a die housing that is composed of several die members with vertical and/or horizontal mold joints. The displacement cores in the flow channel are connected to the die housing by core-holding webs that separate the flow channel by distances corresponding to the thicknesses of the webs, thus subdividing the bulk stream into separate partial streams, the cross-section of the combined partial streams being equal to the cross-section of the bulk stream, and the displacement cores being enlarged by the thickness of the core-holding webs so that the partial streams, with the flow cross-sections remaining the same, are conducted along the core-holding webs.
