Title:
【発明の名称】熱可塑性ポリマーの密度を高める方法及び装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH11502162
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for densifying a thermoplastic polymer are disclosed. Particles of a thermoplastic polymer are introduced into a chamber, suspended with a fluid flow in the chamber, and while suspended, the particles are heated and softened to form pieces of densified thermoplastic polymer which are too dense to remain suspended in the fluid flow. The pieces of densified polymer are collected from the bottom of the chamber. A range of particle sizes can be efficiently and continuously densified without adjusting the apparatus.
