Abstract:
A microbubble creating method using a forming machine for creating microbubbles by: installed a microbubble generating member in a mold, feed screw or barrel for enabling a perforated tip of the microbubble generating member to be surrounded by the applied fluid polymer so that when a high pressure high temperature gas is delivered through the perforated tip of the microbubble generating member, microbubbles are created with well mixed with the fluid polymer, and the expected foamed polymer product is thus obtained after cooling.

Claim (Index 1):
A microbubble creating method for creating microbubbles in a polymer using a forming machine, said foaming machine comprising a feed screw and a microbubble generator, said microbubble generator comprising a locating ring, a microbubble generating member, a holder member, and a static mixer, said locating ring being mounted at a front end of said feed screw, said microbubble generating member being mounted at said locating ring, said microbubble generating member comprising a perforated tip protruded over the surface of said feed screw, said holder member comprising a runner disposed in communication between said feed screw and a mold, said static mixer mounted at said front end of said feed screw, the microbubble creating method comprising the steps of:\n a) driving said feed screw to propel a fluid polymer, enabling said perforated tip of said microbubble generating member to be immersed in the fluid polymer and be surrounded by said fluid polymer; b) starting up said microbubble generator to fill a high pressure gas into an air passage in said feed screw, enabling said high pressure gas to be heated when flowing through said air passage; and c) enabling the heated said high pressure gas to flow from said air passage of said feed screw into said microbubble generating member for creating microbubbles after passed through said perforated tip of said microbubble generating member so that the created said microbubbles are mixed with said fluid polymer subject to rotation of said feed screw, and the created said microbubbles are mixed with said fluid polymer subject of said static mixer again, and said fluid polymer passed through by said runner of said holder member into said mold.
