Zusammenfassung: | Thermoplastic polymers, rubbery polymeric components and reinforcing fillers are mixed and heated to a range of 380 ~F to 440 ~F. The resulting mixture i s then fed into a Banbury mixer(s10), with the resulting mixture fed into a diverter(s16) feeding two molds(s17). The velocity of the piston of each mol d being filled is controlled to thereby control the density of the molded product along its length. As each mold is filled, it is deposited in a cool water bath (50 ~F-60 ~F)(s20) while the next mold is being filled. The molds are sequentially transferred to an air cooling rack to complete the process. A texture, generally comprising indentations perpendicular to the longitudinal axis on the molded object, provides a frictional surface between the railway crosstie and the ballast beneath the corsstie. |
