Abstract
A nozzle for feeding a mixture of thermosetting plastic and hardener from a mixing chamber, to which feed lines for supply of thermosettable plastic as well as the hardener are connected. The mixing chamber communicates with at least two beam channels (14) having a diameter (b) of 0.5-1.5 mm, which converge in an angle (.alpha.) of 70-140.degree. toward a point outside the nozzle. By feeding a mixture of thermosetting plastic and hardener via the nozzle, the mixture has a viscosity of between 150 and 75,000 cpois, and the mixture is extruded from the nozzle with a pressure of 75 to 100 bar.
Claims17
A nozzle for feeding a mixture of thermosetting plastic and hardener from a mixing chamber, to which feed lines for supply of thermosettable plastic as well as hardener are connected, said nozzle comprising:
- a metal cylinder having an input end and an output end;
- a mixing chamber formed in the input end of the cylinder;
- at least two beam channels communicating with the mixing chamber, the channels being formed as straight bores through the cylinder and inclined toward each other, one end of each bore in communication with the mixing chamber and the other end an unrestricted outlet, said at least two beam channels having a diameter (b) of 0.5-1.5 mm, and converging at an angle (.alpha.) of 70-140.degree. towards a point outside the nozzle.
Method for feeding a mixture of thermosetting plastic and hardener via a nozzle that includes a mixing chamber, to which feed lines for supply of thermosettable plastic as well as hardener are connected, and which chamber communicates with at least two beam channels (14) having a diameter (b) of 0.5-1.5 mm, which converge in an angle (.alpha.) of 70-140.degree. to a point outside the nozzle, characterised in, that the mixture of plastic and hardener has a viscosity of between 150 and 75,000 cpois, and that the mixture is extruded from the nozzle with a pressure of 75 to 100 bar.
A nozzle for feeding a mixture of thermosetting plastic and hardener form a mixing chamber, to which feed lines for supply of thermosettable plastic as well as the hardener are connected, said nozzle comprising:
- a metal cylinder having an input end and an output end;
- a mixing chamber formed in the input end of the cylinder;
- at least two beam channels communicating with the mixing chamber, formed as straight bores through the cylinder and inclined toward each other, one end of each bore in communication with the mixing chamber, and the other end an unrestricted outlet;
- and
- a pair of intersecting plane surfaces formed on the output end of the cylinder, each one of said plane surfaces containing a respective downstream outlet corresponding to a respective one of said beam channels,
- whereby each of said beam channels extends towards and discharges from a corresponding one of said plane surfaces.
