Radial extruder for extruding different materials, e.g. plastic, into a desired form, said extruder unit consisting of a disc-like rotor (1) and stator plates (2) placed on each side of the rotor, the stator plates having larger dimensions than the rotor and thus constituting an extruder frame (10) substantially enclosing the rotor. The extruder unit has a modular construction enabling several extruder units to be coupled together if necessary, and the extruder frame is provided with one or more radially placed locations (17) which receive a pressurized fluid, the rim of the rotor (1) being correspondingly provided with power transmission means (4, 5) enabling the rotor to be rotated by the pressure of the fluid. In the region of the rotor rim there is a circular zone which is provided with openings (6) through which the material to be extruded can be supplied into the two extrusion spaces (7) between the rotor (1) and the stator plates (2) by means of a pressurized gas, e.g. air, from one or more locations (8) placed radially in the extruder frame. |
