Abstract: A corrugator device for shaping thermoplastic corrugated pipes from a tube of molten plastics material emerging from an extrusion device may include molding jaws, grippers for returning the molding jaws from the end of a molding section to the start of the molding section, and a mold release device. The mold release device is arranged at the end of the molding section, and has a motor-driven rotary disk for interacting with the pair of molding jaws. The pair of molding jaws, which has reached the end of the molding sections, is moved apart by means of first and second drivers formed on the motor driven rotary disk.

Abstract: A corrugator device for shaping thermoplastic corrugated pipes out of a molten plastic tube issuing from an extrusion device may include moving molding jaws which circulate in a linear molding section and are arranged in paired successive relationship in the molding section forming a molding passage. The pairs of molding jaws may be formed from left-hand and right-hand molding jaws and between them enclose a cylindrical mold cavity to form the molding passage. The device may include a gripper device for guiding the molding jaws from the end of the molding section back to the start of the molding section, and having grippers respectively for the left-hand and the right-hand molding jaws, each with a separate guide and drive device.

Abstract: Described is a corrugator device for shaping thermoplastic corrugated pipes out of a molten plastic tube issuing from an extrusion device comprising moving molding jaws 1.1 through 1.6 which circulate in a linear molding section 10 and arranged in paired successive relationship in the molding section 10 form a molding passage, wherein the pairs of molding jaws are formed from left-hand and right-hand molding jaws 1.1 through 1.6 and between them enclose a cylindrical mold cavity to form the molding passage, and a gripper device 2 for guiding the molding jaws 1.1 through 1.6 from the end of the molding section 10 back to the start of the molding section 10. The gripper device has a gripper 2 for the left-hand molding jaws and a gripper 2 for the right-hand molding jaws with a guide and drive device. The guide and drive device has a linear guide rail X1 extending in the X-direction and a linear guide rail Y1 extending in the Y-direction, which are each in the form of respective separate rail devices.

Abstract: A description is given of a corrugator device for shaping thermoplastic corrugated pipes from a tube of molten plastics material emerging from an extrusion device, with molding jaws 1.1 to 1.6 which are guided so as to circulate in a linear molding section 10 and are arranged in pairs one behind the other so as to form a molding passage in the molding section 10, wherein the pairs of molding jaws are formed from left-hand and right-hand molding jaws 1.1 to 1.6 and between them enclose a cylindrical mold cavity to form the molding passage; with grippers 2 for returning the molding jaws 1.1 to 1.6 from the end of the molding section 10 to the start of the molding section 10. Arranged at the end of the molding section 10 is a mold release device, which has at least one motor-driven rotary disk 3.
