<p>The process relates to the production of extruded foamed plastics, a foaming agent being fed under high pressure to the plastic conveyed in the extruder and the amount of foaming agent being controlled by a servo-valve. If there are fluctuations in the pressure of the polymer melt, the amount of fed foaming agent must be controlled correspondingly by the servo-valve (4). The regulating capabilities of customary servo-valves are often inadequate for this. Therefore, it is proposed to keep the pressure constant behind the servo-valve by means of a pressure-maintaining valve (5) and to control the amount of foaming agent directly as a function of the conveyed polymer melt, preferably via the extruder speed. <IMAGE></p> |
