Claim 6:
7. A method for extruding a material onto an extruded product with one or more longitudinal stripes incorporated on the surface of the extruded product, the method comprising:
providing a body having a substantially tubular shape, an upstream end and a downstream end;
providing a primary feed conduit extending through the body for conveying a primary extrusion material;
providing a secondary feed conduit mounted downstream of the primary feed conduit for conveying a secondary extrusion material;
providing a primary extrusion head mounted in the body;
providing a secondary extrusion head mounted in the body downstream from the primary extrusion head;
providing a striping die with an upstream side and a downstream side, wherein the striping die is mounted downstream from the primary extrusion head;
providing a striping die adapter removably connectable to the downstream side of the striping die; and
providing a striping feed conduit extending through the striping die adapter for conveying striping extrusion material;
wherein the upstream end of the striping die comprises one or more striping extrusion outlets for delivering striping extrusion material onto the extruded product, the downstream end of the striping die comprises a flow channel in fluid communication with the one or more striping extrusion outlets.
