An extrusion system utilizes single (30) or tandem extruders (102 and 103) and a mixer-cooler (104) to extrude a foamable extrudate through a die (37) in a sealable chamber. The foamable extrudate is shaped and calibrated within the chamber (40). The product exits the chamber to atmosphere on a continuous basis through a submerged orifice in a water baffle immersion seal. The seal includes the submerged orifice with a free wheeling guiding system upstream of the orifice. Immediately ahead of the guiding system, the parameters of the foam extrudate are sensed to control the configuration of the orifice on a continuous basis. Before the extrudate passes into the water baffle seal it moves over a floating dancer roll (65), the position of which controls a hauloff such as a vacuum belt, at the tail end of the system. This avoids pushing on the extrudate. |
