Die for hot die face cutting thermoplastic polymers

A die for hot die face cutting thermoplastic polymers, comprising:

• a die body comprising a plurality of channels for polymer flow;
• a bored plate fixed to a front part of said die body and bored at locations corresponding to each channel, said bored plate having an outer surface acting as a cutting counterblade and an inner surface;
• a layer of insulating material positioned between the die body and the bored plate;
• said die body comprising a thermoregulating system for thermally regulating the die body at least an end part of said channels;
• and
• a plurality of nozzles, each nozzle being (i) rooted inside the die body at each location corresponding to said channels, (ii) protruding from the die body, and (iii) extending through the insulating layer and the bored plate, said insulating material closely fitting around an external configuration of respective end parts of said nozzles and to said inner surface and bored locations of said plate, wherein said insulating material envelopes said nozzles up to said end parts of said nozzles such that said nozzles do not contact said bored plate at any point, and said nozzles being made of a metal material having thermal conductivity higher than 60 W/m.degree.k.
