A screw element for use in a material-processing machine comprising at least one screw formed by a central driving shaft (2) on which are mounted a plurality of hollow elements (12, 13 . . . ) provided on their inner wall with grooves (31) engaging with corresponding splines (21) of the central shaft (2). A cylindrical inner collar (3) made from a product resistant to the mechanical driving stresses and on the inner wall (32) of which are formed the grooves (31) corresponding to the splines (21) of the shaft, and an outer collar (4) made from a product resistant to the abrasion of the processed material and on which are formed, within the body of the outer collar, helical threads (42) or other peripheral material-processing means, the outer collar (4) being mounted without clearance on the inner collar (3) and being connected to the inner collar for rotation therewith. The invention is applicable in particular to the construction of extruding machines.

Screw element for a material processing machine

The material-processing machine comprises at least a screw (11) driven in rotation inside a sleeve (1) and constituted by a central driving shaft (2) on which are mounted a plurality of screw elements (3) forming a stack of adjoining elements clamped between an abutment and clamping means placed respectively at the two ends of the shaft (2). The clamping means (4, 5) are arranged in such manner as to exert on the stack of screw elements (3) a prestressing force capable of opposing the separation of the screw elements (3) from each other in operation of the machine. The invention is especially applicable to the construction of screw extruders.

Material-processing screw machine

A swash plate mechanism, especially for high power swash plate pumps, incorporating, inside a casing (2) bounded by two end walls (21, 22), a driving component (3) mounted so as to rotate about a longitudinal axis (30), an inclined plate (5) bearing upon the driving component (3) and mounted so as to swivel on the latter about an inclined axis (50). The two end walls (21, 22) of the casing are joined at their periphery by additional lateral tie rods (80) parallel to the central tie rod (8), bearing upon the two end walls (21, 22) of the casing (2) and subjected to a preload tension in order to carry the forces developed by the pistons (6) in co-operation with the central tie rod.
