PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A STRAND-LIKE EXTRUDATE

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing a strand-like extrudate (5) composed of a rubber material which is vulcanized after extrusion, in which the vulcanization is carried out in a bath (7) by means of heat treatment medium (9) present therein. The strand-like extrudate (5) is transported through the heat treatment medium (9) in an essentially vertical direction. The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the process, in which the bath (7) is configured in the form of a closed channel which has openings for entry and exit of the strand-like extrudate (5) and is arranged so that the strand-like extrudate (5) can be conveyed through it in an essentially vertical direction.
