  • Patent number: 9446548
    Abstract: A device for suctioning of waste products of a production machine, particularly a sheet extruder, with a suction chamber. At least one suction element extends into a suction space located outside the suction chamber in order to convey waste products in the suction chamber. A suction unit develops a negative pressure in the suction chamber. A sealing means abuts the suction element and locks the suction chamber in a way such that the suction element is movable along the sealing means. The position of the suction element at the suction chamber is variably adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20150224698
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for suctioning of waste products (2) of a production machine (3), particularly a sheet extruder, with a suction chamber (10), at which at least one suction element (20) is assembled, which extends into a suction space (4) located outside the suction chamber (10) in order to convey waste (2) products in the suction chamber (10), a suction unit (5) in order to develop a negative pressure in the suction chamber (10). According to the invention it is intended that a sealing means (40), which rests at the suction element (20) and locks the suction chamber (10) is performed in a way that a suction element (20) is movable along the sealing means (40) wherein the position of the suction element (20) at the suction chamber (10) is variably adjustable.

  • Publication number: 20150210471
    Abstract: The invention relates a device for suctioning off waste products of the production machine comprising a suction chamber at which at least a suction element is assembled which extends into a suction space, which is outside the suction chamber in order to convey waste products into the suction chamber, wherein the suction element comprises an inlet area, which is facing the suction space and an outlet area, which ends in the suction chamber. According to the invention, the suction element comprises a circumferential wall, which is configured with such a curved distribution that during the suctioning a middle negative pressure zone results in the outlet area spaced apart from the wall, which comprises a lower negative pressure than the negative pressure, which results in the outer negative pressure zone between the middle negative pressure zone and the wall wherein the waste products within the suction element flow through mainly in the middle and a contacting of the waste products at the wall can be minimized.
