Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a release-controlled pipe which mainly comprises a plurality of steps which are:Mixing a plurality of elastomer pellets and a binder, wherein said elastomer pellets comprise 60 to 80 percent of the mixture and can be rubber material such as waste tires, and wherein said binder comprises 40 to 20 percent of the mixture and can be resin material; Pouring said formulation into a first melt extruder to form a rod-like extrudate, and then cooling said rod-like extrudate being cooled through a conveyor and a cooling unit; Grinding said rod-like extrudate into pellets, then placing a portion of the pellets into a water-filled container and another portion of the pellets into a dry container thus producing dry ground pellets and wet ground pellets for collecting separately; Mixing dry ground pellets and wet ground pellets which were soaked in water, with a small amount of lubricant such as stearic acid, and pouring the mixture into a secondary hot-melt extruder and using a pipe die head to extrude and shape a release-controlled pipe; Cooling the extruded release-controlled pipe with water to fix the shape of the pipe, and then gathering the pipe using a winder.
