<p>PCT No. PCT/NL96/00044 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 31, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 31, 1997 PCT Filed Jan. 29, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/23644 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 8, 1996A tubular profile made of thermoplastic material is formed by extrusion from an extruder. Downstream from the extruder, the tubular profile is cooled both externally and internally by an external cooling unit and an internal cooling unit mounted on the extruder. A tensile force is exerted on the cooled tubular profile downstream from the cooling units by a pulling device. When the extruder is set in operation to start the production of the tubular profile, the internal cooling unit is left out. When the pulling device applies the tensile force on the extruded and externally cooled tubular profile, the internal cooling unit is introduced into the tubular profile from the open end of the tubular profile and is mounted on the extruder.</p> |
