Abstract
The Induction Heated Extrusion Melter is an invention for melting plastic and metal in an extrusion process. It is a component and is to be integrated into an apparatus. The operating temperature of the Induction Heated Extrusion Melter is in excess of two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, it can melt many types thermoplastics and metals. The Induction Heated Extrusion Melter could melt metals such as, but not limited to, aluminum, brass or lead and plastics of various shapes and sizes. It could be used in additive manufacturing machines, where shapes are made by adding layers of molten material. It could also be used as part of an extrusion apparatus that extrude long continuous shapes.
Claims1
The Induction Heated Extrusion Melter is an invention that is used to extrude melted plastics or metals. It uses an external regulated electric current to induce an electromagnetic field in a conductive coil to inductively heat a ferrous metal chamber that is partially encased in insulation. The temperature of the chamber has the potential to reach in excess of two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. Which is hot enough melt all know plastics and some metals. Plastic or metal is fed into one end and is melted in the heated ferrous metal chamber. The feeding action from the incoming plastic or metal will force the melted plastic or metal to extrude out the opposite end.
