Extrusion head arrangement
An extrusion head arrangement has a plurality of extrusion heads arranged next to one another along a transverse axis. Each extrusion head has a housing with at least one flow channel for forming a strand of extrudable plastic in the direction of a longitudinal axis. The housing has an outer housing part extending along the longitudinal axis with an outer circumferential surface. A longitudinal bore parallel to the longitudinal axis is arranged in the outer housing part. The outer circumferential surface of the outer housing part has an oval cross-section with a largest diameter and a smallest diameter. The extrusion heads are arranged next to each other with the smallest diameters parallel to the transverse axis. The longitudinal bores are each arranged on a diameter deviating from the smallest diameter.
1 . An extrusion head arrangement comprising:
a plurality of extrusion heads arranged next to one another along a transverse axis, each extrusion head having a housing with at least one flow channel for forming a strand of extrudable plastic in the direction of a longitudinal axis, the housing having an outer housing part extending along the longitudinal axis with an outer circumferential surface, a longitudinal bore parallel to the longitudinal axis being arranged in the outer housing part,
wherein the outer circumferential surface of the outer housing part has an oval cross-section with a largest diameter and a smallest diameter, the extrusion heads being arranged next to each other with the smallest diameters parallel to the transverse axis, and the longitudinal bores each being arranged on a diameter deviating from the smallest diameter.
2 . The extrusion head arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal bores are each arranged on a diameter which forms a smaller angle to the largest diameter than to the smallest diameter.
3 . The extrusion head arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal bores are each arranged on the largest diameter.
4 . The extrusion head arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal bores each have a diameter which is greater than or equal to the wall thickness of the outer housing part in the region of the smallest diameter.
5 . The extrusion head arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the outer housing parts each have a central bore with a circular cross-section.
6 . The extrusion head arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a heating element is arranged around each of the outer housing parts and rests against the outer circumferential surface.
