METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING KNEADING MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE:To enhance working efficiency by automatically weighing the rubber material supplied from a warming roll apparatus so as to obtain the wt. corresponding to the volume of a plurality of kneading apparatuses to continuously supply the same to the kneading apparatuses. CONSTITUTION:A predetermined volume of the rubber material Wa fed from a warming roll apparatus 1 while warmed is supplied to an accumulation conveyor 7b from the feed conveyor 7a of one feed apparatus and a definite volume of the rubber material Wa accumulated thereon is subsequently supplied to a weighing conveyor 7c. The supplied rubber material Wa is weighed by the weighing conveyor 7c and successively supplied to a charging conveyor 7d by the quantity corresponding to the volume of one kneading apparatus 3. After the completion of supply, the rubber material Wa is successively supplied to the other kneading apparatus 3 by the quantity corresponding to the volume thereof by other feed apparatus 4 and a predetermined volume of the rubber material Wa is alternately charged on the rolls 3a, 3b of two kneading apparatuses 3.
