Extrusion presses

In different forms (bar, casting such as sand, centrifugal, die, pernianenl mould, etc., extrusion, forging, impact extrusion, pressing, sintered, powder pressing)... 

Extrusion press processing (express processing) was developed for the production of flax fiber-reinforced PP at the research center of Daimler Benz (Ulm, Germany) [62]. In this processing, natural fiber nonwovens and thermoplastic melt-films are alternatively deposited in a tempered molding tool and molded afterwards. The thermoplastic melt-films are laid on by a mobile extruder. If thi.s process is optimally adapted to the element, a single passage by the extruder suffices. The structural order consists of three layers two layers of... 

Barium titanate is made by sintering a finely powdered mixture of barium carbonate and titanium dioxide in a furnace at 1,350°C. The calcined mass is finely ground and mixed with a binder (plastic). The mixture is subjected to extrusion, pressing or film casting to obtain ceramic bodies of desired shapes. Plastic is burnt off by heating and the shaped body is sintered by firing and then pobshed.

The hot, homogeneous mass is shaped in a hydraulically-operated extrusion press of the type used for smokeless powder (Fig. 121). It is usually cruciform. A guillotine cuts the extruded material to the required length. The outer surfaces of the limbs of the cross are covered by a substance which does not burn readily (e.g. strips of plasticized cellulose acetate or polystyrene 1.5-5 mm thick), and cemented in place, to prevent uneven burning at the surface.

This consists of blocking which involves pressing the mass for several minutes at a pressure of ca. 200 kg/cm2 (3000 lb/in2). The block thus formed is transferred to another press of a type much similar to the extrusion press (Fig. 213). Here the dough is forced through a series of screens and perforated plates. This is referred to as macaroni pressing owing to the shape of the extruded threads. 

The shredded, macaronied dough is introduced into the extrusion press, as described in the next paragraph.

Piston-type extrusion presses are described in Section 2.3.1. 

Extrusion presses of the piston type, roll type, and screw or auger type are in use. 

Modem piston-type extrusion presses contain multiple stamps and moulds of twin, triple or double-twin construction [7]. At an operating speed of 100 rpm, a triple-type press produces 10.5 tons/h (9.5 Mg/h) and a double-twin type press 16 tons/h (14.5 Mg/h) of lignite briquets. Power requirements are in the range 22 to 35 kW-h/ton (30 to 47.5 hp-h/ton) depending on the feed properties.
