Abstract:
The invention relates to an annular die on an extrusion head for producing tubular or sheet-like preforms with an arcuate die gap and with a melt channel delimited by a mandrel and a die body, the cross-sectional profile of the melt channel being variable by way of adjusting elements, the annular die according to the invention being distinguished by the fact that the outer circumference of the melt channel is at least partially delimited directly by at least one radially adjustable slide, that the slide is formed by a number of segments that can be adjusted together from at least one first position into at least one second position, and that the segments in each position form a respectively closed arc portion of the delimitation of the melt channel, the radius of the arc portion being different according to the position of the segments.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for the extrusion of a tubular or sheet-like preform from plasticated thermoplastic material by means of an annular die with an arcuate die gap and with a melt channel delimited by a mandrel and a die body, the method comprising varying the profile of the melt channel during the extrusion and/or while setting the annular die, wherein an adjustment of the width of one or more portions of the circumference of the melt channel is performed while maintaining the width of the remaining portion or portions of the circumference of the melt channel.
