Patent number: 11772316Abstract: An extrusion device includes a material inlet; a material outlet; a material guidance system; a body, which passes through the material outlet and a cross-sectional area through which the extrusion material is expelled from the material outlet changes; a drive device; a cooling line system for guiding coolant. A first part of the cooling line system is suitable for guiding the coolant along the axis, a second part is suitable for guiding the coolant out of the body and around the drive device, and a third part of the cooling line system guiding the coolant outwardly, into a discharge line for the coolant at an incline to the axis. The second part of the cooling line system adjoins the first part of the cooling line system, and the third part adjoins the second part against a flow direction of the extrusion material from the material inlet to the material outlet.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: KRAUSSMAFFEI EXTRUSION GMBHInventors: Walter Breuning, Mathias Geyer
