Abstract: The invention relates to a material conveying device for feeding at least one injection molding and/or extrusion unit with a non-free-flowing or viscous feed material, having a feed hopper rotatable relative to a bracket about an axis of rotation and a screw conveyor arranged rotatably along an inner jacket surface of the feed hopper in a screw shaft of the bracket, which is designed to convey the feed material from the feed hopper to an outlet, wherein the screw shaft is connected to a hopper outlet of the feed hopper, and wherein the screw conveyor is drivable via at least one drive device.
In order to enable the conveying of feed materials with different properties in the simplest possible way, it is provided that at least one media feed channel opens into the screw shaft, which is designed to feed at least one additional medium to the feed material, wherein at least one mixing device is arranged in the region of the screw conveyor and/or downstream of the screw conveyor, which is designed to mix the feed material and the additional medium.

Abstract: A system according to various embodiments can include a source for supplying a material to be treated, an extruder, at least two screws, and a drive coupled to the screws for axially rotating the screws. The extruder includes an inlet for receiving the material, which is fed therein in a controlled manner. The screws are provided within the housing of the extruder. The screws have a plurality of compression and release stages that create mechanical heat which is directly applied to the material to change the mechanical properties of the material thereby facilitating a conversion of a physical state of the material from a non-compactable state to a compactable state as the screws rotate and move the material longitudinally along the screws to produce a final product, for example, a feed tub for use as an animal feed.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for the production and further processing of a film tube (6), in which method a plastic melt is transferred into a cylindrical melt by means of an extrusion die (4), the melt flow is drawn out through an annular gap (5) associated with the extrusion die (4) in order to form the film tube (6), and at least one temperature-controlled volume flow comprising at least one fluid is conducted by means of a temperature control device (8) onto the outer periphery of the film tube (6), wherein the temperature control device (8) is divided into peripheral segments, wherein a volume flow of different magnitude and/or different temperature is produced by means of each peripheral segment such that the temperature control of the film tube (6) differs over the periphery of the film tube, and wherein the film tube (6) is flattened by means of a flattening device (9), the flattening device (9) being rotated in relation to the extrusion die (4). A first volume flow in at least one peripheral segment of the temperature control device (8) differs from the volume flow of other peripheral segments so that at least one thick point (13) is produced on the film tube, wherein the first volume flow is produced by means of adjacent peripheral segments in succession, wherein the first volume flow is produced by means of the corresponding at least one peripheral segment in such a way that the first volume flow is adapted to the rotation of the flattening device (9) such that the at least one thick point (13) assumes substantially the same position in relation to the flattening device (9).
