An extrusion head having a stationary part fixed on an extrusion installation having a plurality of extrusion cylinders supplying an extrudate formed from several components. The stationary part has extrudate flow channels each in communication with a respective extrusion cylinder and a common extrusion die. Two pivotable outer parts pivotally hinged on the stationary part are selectively swingable individually between open and closed positions by respective piston-cylinder units. The two outer parts define an extrusion orifice for the die in their closed position. A pair of locking piston-cylinders provided with hammerhead piston rods hold the respective outer parts clamped against the stationary during an extrusion. Actuator piston-cylinder units selectively swing the piston rods of the locking piston-cylinder units clear of the outer parts for opening them for cleaning extrudate channels or for an extrusion die change. Two pivotable inner parts between the outer parts and the stationary part define extrudate channels jointly with outer parts and stationary part and are selectively swingable by a respective piston-cylinder unit and exposing corresponding flow channels of the stationary part for cleaning when the outer parts are open. The inner parts have lateral flanges with a respective recess into which is inserted a retainer piston rod of a corresponding piston-cylinder unit to retain the respective inner part closing a respective stationary part flow channel against residual extrudate in the absence of extrusion of extrudate therethrough.

Extrusion head for an extrusion installation for the rubber or plastic

An extruder head for producing profiles of rubber and/or plastic mixtures has a stationay main part which has a forward face in which the discharge ends of at least two extruders, rigid with the stationary main part open. The stationary main part has a transverse pivot shaft at one side of the forward face and, at the side opposite the pivot shaft, an abutment which projects forwardly of the forward face. A movable main part is pivoted, with play, on the pivot shaft and is swingable between a closed position in which it overlies the forward face and an open position. An extrusion die unit is disposed between the outboard end of the movable main part and the abutment. Flow channels between the movable main part and the stationary main part lead from the extruders to the extrusion die unit. Hydraulically operated clamps hold the movable main part in closed position and a hydraulic servo motor exerts on the movable main part a force parallel to the forward face of the stationary main part and directed toward the abutment. In one embodiment, there are two movable main parts pivoted at opposite sides of the stationary main part and having an extrusion die unit between them.
