A device for the continuous processing of starch or starch-containing materials to form plate-like, foamed moldings

摘要

In order to reduce the outlay involved in the production of foamed, plate-shaped molded body of starch and a starch-containing material as well as for the extension of the fields of application for such products a device is used, with the continuously molded parts can be produced, whose width is significantly greater than the height and the over the entire cross section of a media have homogeneous foam structure. The apparatus, the material already before the beginning of the process for the temperature - and pressure increase are uniformly over the cross-section of the shaped part to be produced is supplied to. The device is structurally designed in such a way that the material in this is not parallel to the axis of rotation of the connection element, but circularly, of the material feed opening is moved to the slot die. The molded parts are produced by cutting of a continuously extruded band, the height by means of the foaming power of the material used and its width by the structural configuration of the device is determined. By means of positive feeding of the material, the foam structure, the height of the extrudate be influenced and the throughput capacity.
