FLOW INVERTING HOMOGENIZER ASSEMBLY

摘要

A method and apparatus for homogenizing a flow stream of plasticized material supplied from an extruder, to reduce viscosity gradients causing defects in extr uded products, wherein a flow inverting homogenizer positioned in the flow stream and incorporating a plurality of criss-crossing channels for simultaneously transfer ring portions of the flow stream from central to peripheral flow stream locations and other portions of the flow stream from peripheral to central flow stream locations.
