Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for treating synthetic resin waste containing thermoplastic synthetic resin and various foreign matter which often contain volatile matter. This apparatus makes it possible to produce articles, from the resin waste, having good mechanical properties by first driving off volatile matter. The apparatus is especially usable for producing long, bar-shaped products, large-sized cylindrical products, piles, sleepers, or molding flasks for concrete works.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
Apparatus for treating synthetic resin waste comprising a first cylinder, a rotary driven first screw in said first cylinder having a rotary body thereon for grinding resin waste and extruding it in a plastic state, means defining a raw material feed zone on said first cylinder, means defining a discharging portion for the resin waste in a plastic state, a deairing and back-pressure increasing device having a transfer port in communication with said discharging portion and comprising a second screw rotatably driven about an axis thereof transversely to the axis of said first screw, a second cylinder containing said second screw in communication with said transfer port and having an outlet through which treated resin waste is delivered by said second screw, said second screw having a flange portion disposed circumferentially of said second screw, said transfer port being disposed between said outlet and said flange portion, and said flange portion being of lesser diameter than said second cylinder defining therewith a deairing gap for passing volatized matter without escape of the resin in a plastic state therethrough.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
