The invention relates to an apparatus for cooling a plurality of preforms made of thermoplastic material which continuously move on a conveyor belt. The apparatus includes a cylindrical casing with a vertical extension formed by two coaxial cylinders, such a casing contains a guide crossed by a chain or a cable for transporting the preforms therein. The guide, which forms a closed path, comprises a first helical stretch, which raises from the lower plane starting from a station in which the preforms coming from a conveying device are hooked by the chain or by the cable, a second straight stretch, which returns the preforms to the lower plane once they have reached the upper plane, and a third flat stretch at the height of the lower plane, which returns the preforms to the arrival station. The helical stretch of the guide is contained within a cooling tunnel formed in the gap between the two walls of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder of said casing. The cooling air is conveyed within the cooling tunnel by a specific manifold which is located within the casing. |

The purpose of the invention is to eliminate water-permeable sheets and thus to eliminate various bothersome works related to the water-permeable sheets.To achieve the purpose, the surfaces of the chutes 21, 22 are roughened by sandblasting. The chutes 21, 22 are made of metal such as stainless steel, for example. Processed metal surfaces are generally smooth with almost no friction. Moreover, metal has its inherent water repellency. If water is flowed on a bare metal surface, some parts do not get wet while some parts have concentrated surge water flow thereon. However, by sandblasting the surfaces of the chutes 21, 22, adequate friction resistance is generated and inherent water repellency of metal is eliminated. |

With respect to a metal clad laminate wherein a metal layer is to be formed for at least a part of a surface of a flexible polymer film, it becomes clear that it is able to suppress any warpage of the laminate by performing a heat treatment and then a cooling treatment under a state of loading a tension within a range capable of maintaining the laminate to be a flat configuration consistently during the period from heating to cooling. Moreover, it becomes clear that it is able to suppress the warpage without occurrences of an elongation deformation and/or a fracture for the obtained metal clad laminate, by controlling a tension to be loaded at the period of the heat treatment as between 0.03% and 0.3% of a tensile strength in a direction of the tension for the substratum polymer film. |

An apparatus and process maintain control of the temperature of low-melting compounds, high melt flow polymers, and thermally sensitive materials for the pelletization of such materials. The addition of a cooling extruder, and a second melt cooler if desired, in advance of the die plate provides for regulation of the thermal, shear, and rheological characteristics of narrow melting-range materials and polymeric mixtures, formulations, dispersions or solutions. The apparatus and process can then be highly regulated to produce consistent, uniform pellets of low moisture content for these otherwise difficult materials to pelletize. |

The invention concerns a method for treating plastic tubes, in particular PCV tubes, obtained by extrusion, whereby a tube is brought to a molecular orientation temperature, higher than room temperature, and is subjected to bi-axial drawing by radial expansion and axial elongation, to obtain a bi-oriented tube whose mechanical properties are improved. The tube (T) is cut into elements (4) of predetermined length immediately after being extruded and its temperature is higher than the molecular orientation temperature, each element constituting a blank (5); each blank (5) is placed in a chamber (E) to be cooled therein by a fluid (F) to a temperature close to the molecular orientation temperature, the dwell time of the blank in the chamber being greater than the time of its production by extrusion; and the blank (5) is then extracted from the chamber (E) to be subjected to a treatment enabling its bi-orientation. |

The present invention relates to self-foaming hot melt adhesive compositions and methods of making and using the same. Self-foaming hot melt adhesive compositions are formed by admixing a dispersion concentrate including a chemical blowing agent and a compatible carrier (liquid or molten) with a molten base hot melt adhesive composition at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent. The resolidified material is processed through a device that heats the material above the decomposition temperature of the chemical agent and cools it below such temperature before being dispensed. The device preferably includes sensors and a controller configured to prevent the material from accumulating an adverse thermal history during processing. |
