Extrusion system and process for minimizing color change times in extrusion of thermoplastics

摘要

An extrusion system includes a main extruder and a secondary injection extruder. Both extruders are connected via a three-way valve. The main extruder has a mixing section downstream of the junction point with the secondary injection extruder. An accelerated switch between molding masses with different colors can be made by switching the three way valve.
