Apparatus for cooling and calibrating an extruded plastic profile

摘要

An apparatus for cooling and calibrating and extruded plastic profile (2) is described, with a cooling tank (4) which receives a cooling liquid (12) and can be charged with a pressure below atmospheric, and with at least one calibrating device (5) arranged within the cooling tank (4) for the plastic profile (2) pulled through the cooling tank (4), with the calibrating device (5) being composed of individual parts extending in the direction of passage of the plastic profile (2). In order in to provide advantageous construction conditions it is proposed that the parts of the calibrating device (5) form calibrating elements (8) which are distributed over the circumference of the plastic profile (2) by leaving out gaps (15) for the passage of cooling liquid.
