Definitions

  • the known method for working the PVC plastic in rolling mills is unsatisfactory for at least two reasons: it is relatively expensive, entailing high costs for wages; and it is not suitable for producing large quantities of material in a given period of time.
  • the object of the invention is to devise a continuous and uniformly operating plasticizing rolling mill which can work large and small quantities of material in a given period of time and with which mill it is possible to obtain any desired degree of plasticization. With heretofore known machines it has not been possible to obtain such a. variety of plasticization of material being worked.
  • the plasticizing rolling mill comprises essentially a heatable drum rotatable about its axis and at least one roll also rotatable about its axis, extending parallel to the axis of the drum, and cooperating with the inner wall of the drum.
  • a gap or space separates the drum inner wall from the roll or rollers.
  • Relative movement between the inner wall of the drum and the periphery of the roll or rolls can be regulated as desired within certain limits.
  • the number of revolutions of the drum and of the roll or rolls can be infinitely regulated independently of one another. As a result it is possible to adjust the plasticizing effect as desired.
  • theroll or rolls can rotate in either direction in relation to the drum and to each other.
  • the roll or rolls may be provided with a shallow screwthread which may be right or left-handed and exerts a feeding elfect on the plasticized skin of synthetic substance forming on the inner wall of the drum.
  • a scraper may be provided for detaching the skin of synthetic substance trom the wall of the drum and guiding it into the space between the pair of rolls.
  • the scraper is preferably pivotable about an axis parallel to the axis of the rolling mill. In this manner the skin of synthetic substance can be completely or partly scraped off the inner wall of the drum and conducted between the rolls by the blades of the scraper for further working of the material.
  • the rolling mill may also be combined with a screw press connected up in series so that the plasticized synthetic material is fed from the rolling mill into the screw press.
  • FIG. 1 is a longitudinal section of a plasticizing rolling mill followed by a screw press
  • FIG. 2 is a section through the plasticizing rolling mill taken on line 11-11 of FIG. 1.
  • the plasticizing rolling mill illustrated in the drawing consists of a rotary and heatable drum 1 and two heatable rolls 2 arranged side by side axially parallel to the drum and in the interior thereof, which rolls are rotatable about their axes.
  • the drum is driven by means which include a worm wheel 4 fixed on the drum and engaged by a driven worm 5..
  • the drive of the rolls 2 is not shown.
  • the rolls 2 are mounted in a support which is only indicated in the drawing and which can be adjusted so that a space remains between the periphery of the rolls and the inner wall of the drum.
  • the adjustability of the support can also be extended to the space between the two rolls.
  • the rolls are provided with shallow square screw-threads. They leave a space between their facing peripheries.
  • the screw-threads of the rolls can interengage slightly.
  • a scraper 3 is arranged between the two neighbouring rolls 2 and the inner wall of the drum 1.
  • This scraper is of a length corresponding to that of the operating inner wall of the drum. Its purpose is to scrape off the skin of plasticized synthetic material forming on the inner Wall of the drum. With it the skin can be completely or partly peeled off the inner wall of the drum.
  • the scraper is pivotally mounted on a shaft 6 extending parallel to the axis of the drum. The scraper is so shaped that it conducts the peeled off skin into the space between the two rolls 2.
  • the directions of rotation of the drum land of the rolls 2 are indicated 'by the arrows 7 and 8 respectively. It is evident that these directions can be changed. Thus, for example, the rolls 2 can rotate in the opposite direction to the drum. The two rolls 2 can also rotate in directions opposite to each other.
  • a single screw press 10 is coordinated to the plasticizing rolling mill.
  • This single or multiple screw press can follow the plasticizing rolling mill in horizontal direction or be arranged as shown, perpendicularly below the plasticizing rolling mill.
  • the number of revolutions of the screw press is adapted to the speed of feed and capacity of the plasticizing rolling mill and is infinitely adjustable for this purpose.
  • the arrow 11 indicates thedirection in which the material coming from the plasticizing rolling mill drops into the hopper 12 of the screw press.
  • the screw press can be coupled with the plasticizing rolling mill.
  • the screw press may be of relatively short length as compared with the conventional screw presses, the cylinders of which are about eight to thirty times as long as the diameter of the screw.
  • This construction is possible because in the arrangement according to the invention the screw press is not required to carry out kneading, mixing and plasticizing work but serves primarily for the constant and uniform feeding of the plastic mass. Because of this its construction can be simpler, the cylinder length shorter, and the screw diameter larger than in screw presses which serve primarily to knead and mix.
  • the rolling mill according to the invention can also be used for other goods, e.g., for chocolate and the like.
  • a rolling mill for plasticizing synthetic substances comprising a rotatable drum having an inner wall, at least one operating roller within the drum, the lengthwise axis of the roller lying parallel to the axis around which the drum rotates, said roller lying adjacent said inner wall and having an operative relation therewith for kneading and mixing said substances therebetween, the position of said roller relative to said inner Wall being adjustable, and a scraper lying adjacent the length of said inner wall for shaving said' substances off said inner wall and for redirecting said substances for further kneading, and mixing as they emerge from between said inner wall and said roller.
  • a rolling mill according to claim 1 wherein there are at least two operating rollers lying adjacent said inner wall having an operative relation with said wall and with each other for kneading and mixing said substances between said rollers and between each roller and saidinner Wall, the lengthwise axis of each of said rollers lying parallel to the axis around which the drum rotates, the position of said rollers relative to said inner wall being adjustable, whereby improved kneading and' mixing of said substances not only between said rollers and" said inner wall, but also between said rollers themselves, is achieved.
  • a rolling mill according to claim 2 wherein said operating rollers are provided with shallow screw threads which engage one another and serve toconvey said substances axially.
  • a rolling mill for plasticizing synthetic substances comprising a rolling mill according to claim 2 in combination With a mass-deforming worm type press for additional' working of said substances.
