APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING MOVING HAND-RAIL OF PASSENGER CONVEYER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MOVING HAND-RAIL

摘要

An object is to provide a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method that can form in successive processes tooth-marks longitudinally at a regular pitch on the back side of a passenger-conveyor moving handrail. The manufacturing apparatus includes: a material feed port (2) through which a thermoplastic resin is fed; a heater that heats the fed thermoplastic resin; a molding machine (1) that extrusion-molds the thermoplastic resin having been fluidized; and a tooth-mark forming tools (7), which is a tooth-mark forming device, that forms tooth-marks longitudinally at a regular pitch on the back side of a preformed moving-handrail material (5) having been extrusion-molded, while it is in a state ir a plastically deformable temperature range.
