Extrusion surge controller and method
Luker May 21, 1996
Abstract
An apparatus is provided for extruding a polymer which is subject to periodic surges. The apparatus includes a barrel with an upstream portion for receiving polymer, a downstream portion and a discharge port near the downstream portion. The apparatus also includes a shaft mounted for rotational movement about a longitudinal axis within the barrel as well as drive means connected to rotate the shaft. The apparatus has a surge suppressor for urging polymer upstream toward the discharge port while permitting a portion of polymer to flow downstream into the surge suppressor. A sensor is positioned within the apparatus to detect surges in the polymer and a controller is connected to the sensor and to the drive means for adjusting shaft rotation in response to polymer surges.
