AUXILIARY EXTRUSION DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR DOUBLE AUXILIARY EXTRUSION DEVICE, FOR THE PROCESSING OF STRONGLY FURNISHING MATERIALS

摘要

The new double screw extrusion unit, processes materials strongly evolving gases (here including evolved vapours), includes a main extruder (1), materials feed unit (4) and an extraction unit (5). As appropriate, there is a feed for e.g. an agent promoting gas evolution, a solvent, emulsion, moist bulk material or pastes, into a de-gasification region (14) in the main extruder (1). A de-gasification system at the main extruder, removes gases and vapours from this region (14). Improved features of the de-gasification unit include the branchings (19, 20, 21) for gases into three partial streams at the closed region of the main extruder. There is a gas vent (13) up- or downstream of the de-gasification zone with at least two intermediate, radially-opposite vents (11, 12) on either side, with auxiliary degasification screws (7, 8).
