  • Publication number: 20240083084
    Abstract: A system and method are presented in which a flow of plastic is extruded to obtain nano-sized features by forming multiple laminated flow streams, flowing in parallel through the non-rotating extrusion system. Each of the parallel laminated flow streams are subjected to repeated steps in which the flows are compressed, divided, and overlapped to amplify the number of laminations. The parallel amplified laminated flows are rejoined to form a combined laminated output with nano-sized features. The die exit is formed to provide a tubular shape.

  • Patent number: 8235701
    Abstract: A device is constructed for adjusting the concentricity of a die within an extrusion die assembly. The adjustment mechanism involves a series of compound screws having multiple operating threads that employ different pitches to generate a fine adjustment motion. The compound screws are coupled to opposing spring loaded plungers that move against a bias spring in reaction to movement of the compound screws.

  • Patent number: 6669458
    Abstract: The invention relates to an extrusion die assembly having a balanced flow path in which the die and tip modules cooperate to form an extended exit channel which communicates with an extrusion channel. The die is rotatably mounted on the die holder and the tip module is rotatably mounted within the axial bore. Each of the rotatably mounted components is independently driven by a motor. The motors are controlled to provide an infinite variation in relative rotational motion between the rotating components.
