Extrusion device and extrusion method that produces a plastic film
An extrusion device that produces plastic film includes at least two feed units that feed feedstock to an extruder, wherein each feed unit has at least one discharge opening including a discharge closure to open and close the discharge opening, and a container interface that reversibly fastens a discharge container that accommodates feedstock discharged from the respective feed unit.
1. An extrusion device that produces plastic film comprising at least two feed units that feed feedstock to an extruder, wherein each feed unit has at least one discharge opening comprising a discharge closure to open and close the discharge opening, and a container interface that reversibly fastens a discharge container that accommodates feedstock discharged from the respective feed unit, wherein, by the container interface, the discharge container automatically remains in a predetermined discharge position during discharge of the feedstock from the feed unit, wherein the container interface has an upper side and a lower side, and the container interface is attached at the upper side and the lower side is built to receive the discharge container from below.
2. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein, in addition to fastening the discharge container, the fastening interface fastens a return device that returns feedstock into a storage.
3. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge opening, at least the discharge closure or the container interface have a sensor device that identifies occupancy of the fastening interface.
4. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge opening is a gravity conveyance in response to the discharge of the feedstock.
5. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein the feed unit has a dosing screw, the feedstock is supplied to the dosing screw from a funnel opening of a weighing funnel, and the free cross section of the funnel opening to the free cross section of the discharge opening has a ratio of 1:1 to 0.1:1.
6. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein the feed unit has a dosing screw and the free flow cross section of the discharge opening is larger than or equal to the free cross section of dosing screw.
7. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein a discharge container comprising a discharge volume that accommodates feedstock is reversibly fastened to the container interface, which discharge volume has a ratio of 1:1.2 to 1:5 with a changing filling level in the feed unit.
8. The extrusion device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the discharge opening or the discharge closure is adjustable with regard to the discharge speed.
9. A method of discharging a feedstock from the feed units of the extrusion device of claim 1 , comprising:
identifying a changing request for the discharge of the feedstock,
fastening a discharge container to the fastening interface of the discharge opening of a feed unit,
opening the discharge closure of the discharge opening with the fastened discharge container, and
repeating the two above steps for at least one further feed unit.
10. An extrusion device for producing a plastic film, having at least two feed units for feeding feedstock to an extruder, wherein each feed unit has at least one discharge opening comprising a discharge closure for opening and closing the discharge opening, and a container interface for reversibly fastening a discharge container for accommodating feedstock, which is discharged from the respective feed unit, wherein by the container interface the discharge container automatically remains in the desired discharge position during the discharge of the feedstock from the feed unit, and the discharge opening, at least the discharge closure or the container interface have a sensor device for identifying an occupancy of the container interface so that the discharge process is carried out at every feed unit at which a discharge container is already arranged.
