Abstract
Extruder and twin roller calendering plant for producing films or sheets of synthetic plastics or rubber material comprising a pair of calendering rollers mounted in a calender frame and an extruder nozzle head directed into the gap between the pair of calendering rollers, the calender frame being pivotally mounted such that it can be pivoted away from the extruder nozzle head to allow ready access to the extruder nozzle head. The calender frame may be pivotally mounted on the nozzle head and a counter balance weight and/or the drive motor for rollers can be mounted on an opposite side of the pivot to the rollers thereby to counter balance the weight of the rollers.
Claims5
In an extruding and twin roller calendering plant formed with an extruder nozzle head for producing films of elastomeric material, the invention comprising:
- (a) a separate calender frame;
- (b) a pair of calendering rollers mounted on said frame, said rollers being spaced to form a gap into which is directed said nozzle head when said frame is in a calendering position;
- (c) means for pivotally mounting said frame for movement between said calendering position and a second position away from said nozzle head to allow ready access to said nozzle head, and
- (d) a compensating weight on said calender frame on an opposite side of said pivotal mounting to said rollers to counter balance the weight of said rollers.
