Abstract

An apparatus to move plastic tube lengthwise in its production process, includes a support organ and move apparatus The counterpart of the support organ rotates with the feeding perimeter speed of the material fed upon it into the same direction with it. The support organ and the move apparatus fit concentrically one after the other. A center axis has bearings to keep it in its place concentrically with the support organ and the move organ. Three essentially lengthwise adapted move organs upon the perimeter the size of the counterpart continuation perimeter or greater perimeter with equal distribution installed move organs are supported with support organs from the center axis and rotate with the center axis. The out part of the mover of every move organ press against the inner surface of the plastic tube to move itself and the plastic tube into its production direction with the speed.

Dependent claims

An apparatus to move lengthwise plastic tube with spiral joint in its production process, which apparatus is composed of a support apparatus and a move apparatus and where the counterpart of the support apparatus has been set to rotate with the same perimeter speed as the material to be fed upon it in the same direction with it and which apparatus also has the center axis that has been supported to its place with bearings concentrically with the support apparatus and the move apparatus,

wherein
a. the support apparatus and the move apparatus that include lengthwise move organs to move the plastic tube have been set concentrically one after the another so that the support organ is located before the move organ when advancing to the direction of the process,
b. the support apparatus, the counterpart and the move apparatus have all been put inside the material/tube,
c. the move apparatus includes the move organs that have been set essentially on the counterpart continuation size or greater perimeter diameter at least essentially with almost equal intervals lengthwise spaced that have been supported to their places with supports from the center axis and set to rotate alongside with the center axis and which are sufficient in number to support the plastic tube essentially to a round shape,
d. the out part of the mover of every move organ has been set to press against the inside surface of the plastic tube and move itself with machine power and thus move the plastic tube 40 into its production direction with the production speed.
