TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM AND A KNEADING MIXING EXTRUDER APPARATUS HAVING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

: The invention relates to a temperature control system and also to a kneading-mixing extruder apparatus implementing the temperature control system. Conventionally, in the manufacturing process of soap, for restricting rise of the temperature of raw soap material, a cooling water passage is provided around an outer periphery of a cylinder constituting a transporting section of the extruder apparatus, so as to cool the outer periphery of the cylinder and consequently the material transported inside the cylinder. With this construction, the portion of the material present in the vicinity of the inner periphery of the cylinder may be cooled efficiently, while the other material portion present adjacent the center of cylinder is not cooled efficiently. The temperature control system of the invention includes a flow passage formed in a stationary disc provided in a kneading mechanism of the extruder apparatus and having a plurality of holes, a fluid supply means for supplying temperature-adjusted fluid into the flow passage and a temperature control means for setting the temperature of the stationary disc to a desired target temperature. Hence, when the transported material is caused to pass through the stationary disc maintained at the desired temperature, this material may be uniformly cooled regardless of its location with respect to the radial direction inside the cylinder.
