Elastomer leakage free feed section design improved to simplify maintenance.This manufacturer of extrusion systems and process controls for all thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. and elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. processes has improved the design of its ELF (elastomer leakage free) feed section to simplify maintenance and enhance scraper See scraping. blade calibration. The feed roll cartridge is now on a removable assembly, making system maintenance more accessible and convenient, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. For more accurate calibration of the blade-to-roll dimensions, the scraper blade can be adjusted on the assembly when it is out of the machine and visible. Both changes are based on field tests conducted by the company and customer feedback. The patent-pending ELF feed section, in production for more than a year, is said to eliminate scrap problems and feed roll bearing failure associated with rubber bleed Printing at the very edge of the paper. Many laser printers, including all LaserJets up to the 11x17" 4V, cannot print to the very edge, leaving a border of approximately 1/4". In commercial printing, bleeding is generally more expensive, because wider paper is often used, which is later during the extrusion process. The ELF feeds rubber shavings shavings curly wafers of wood produced when trimming wood with a plane; used as bedding for horses. See also sawdust. scraped from the feed roll directly back into the process. This technology is said to eradicate waste and keeps the manufacturing area clean. It also keeps feed roll bearings protected from rubber contamination, a common problem caused by leakage, according to the company. The ELF is available on all of the company's new 2.5" (65 mm), 3.5" (90 mm), 4.5" (115 mm) and 6" (150 mm) extruders. The new feedsections can also be retrofitted to existing machines. Feed section conversion kits for the company's extruders come complete with feed roll assembly, scraper, bushing and feed guard. Crompton/Davis-Standard Circle 23 on card |
