Method of replastifying thermoplastic strips, foils or webs

摘要

A method of replastifying thermoplastic foil strips comprising the steps of: rotating a worm within a cylinder baffel having a chamber, an inlet end, outlet end, and a widened area in the region of the inlet end; winding at least one continuous thermoplastic foil strip in multiple layers completely around the worm in the widened area; compressing the layers of the at least one strip on the worm; snagging the at least one strip wound on the worm on edges of at least one longitudinal groove formed on a wall of the chamber, thereby causing the at least one strip to be cut into pieces; and advancing the pieces from the chamber by rotation of the worm.
