METHOD FOR CLEANING AN EXTRUSION DIE

A method of cleaning an extrusion die from residual metal remaining after an extrusion process at a temperature below 600° C. and of recovering the residual metal includes providing a thrust member with at least one portion made of a polymeric material at the extrusion die; reciprocally moving the t...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of cleaning an extrusion die from residual metal remaining after an extrusion process at a temperature below 600° C. and of recovering the residual metal includes providing a thrust member with at least one portion made of a polymeric material at the extrusion die; reciprocally moving the thrust member and the die; removing polymeric material not flowed out of the die during the preceding step; mechanically and/or chemically removing the residual metal not flowed out from the die during the moving step; and opening the extrusion die. The polymeric material in the moving step has a water content lower than 7% by weight with respect to the total weight of the polymeric material. During the moving step, the polymeric material is at least partially in a plastic deformation condition or melted so as to occupy the volume of the residual metal flowed out of the extrusion die.
