  • Publication number: 20240100761
    Abstract: The invention relates to a melt conductor (1), in particular a melt distributor or melt mixer, for an extruding die (2) of an extrusion facility (3), comprising two or more melt conductor blocks (4a, 4b) and a multi-channel system (5), the multi-channel system (5) being arranged inside at least one of the melt conductor blocks (4a, 4b) with three-dimensional extension and having at least one input (6) and at least one output (7) for polymer melt, between one input (6) and one output (7) fluidically connected to the input (6) several branchings (8) arranged in series and several levels (9a) of sub-branches (10) being formed over several levels (12a, 12b) of divided melt channels (11a, 11b); with m melt channels (11a) of the ath level (12a) with xth local cross-sections and n melt channels (11b) of the bth level (12b) with yth local cross-sections being present, wherein n>m if b>a, the yth local cross-sections of the melt channels (11b) of the bth level (12b) being smaller than the xth local cross-section

  • Publication number: 20170157825
    Abstract: A method for continuous recycling of scraps of fiber and cloth that are based on thermoplastic materials in which when viewed in an extrusion direction, an extrusion apparatus is first supplied with the scrap composed of fibers and cloth and is then supplied with an additional fraction composed of thermoplastic polymers and additives, the supplied scrap and the additional fraction are mixed with each other in the extrusion apparatus, degassed, and then extruded together out of the extrusion apparatus forming an extrudate in which the scrap is embedded into the thermoplastic polymer of the additional fraction while at least partially retaining its fiber structure, with the mixing, degassing, and extruding of the scrap and the additional fraction being carried out at temperatures that lie below the softening temperature of at least one of the thermoplastic materials of the scrap.
