Function:
By means of a speed controlled feed screw A the material is lead down into the conditioner
B.
The adjustment of the speed is usually automatical. During the passage through the
conditioner the material is mixed and steam and water is added.
From the conditioner the material is lead via a flap box C down into the process screw E.
The process screw is divided into 6 sections. Usually steam and water is added in section 3,
and 4. After section 4 the pressure boiling of the material takes place, the temperature here is
approx. 120°-140°C. Then the material is pressed through a die plate F with approx. 30 bar.
Behind the die plate and the die head a knife house G is placed. In the knife house a knife is
mounted which cuts off the pellets. The length of the pellets can be changed by adjusting the
speed of the motor.

lifting instructions
General guidelines for lifting and transportation of machinery
The attachment material must be protected against sharp edges on the machine. Slings and
chains, which are places around sharp edges on hard material, such as stone, iron, concrete
etc., must always be protected with a sufficient gasket. You may purchase finished angles
made from steel which gives the strings a reasonably soft bending. But an angle of two
pieces of wood may also be used.
Lifting the machine
1. Thing which are loose on the machine, and which may fall down during
transport, must be removed before lifting.
2. Just before lifting it must be ensured that no persons can be endangered near
the machine.
3. Lifting must be made vertically. If the machine is not free for vertical lifting, it
must - before the lifting is started - be securely moved so that it can be lifted in
a vertical direction. The machine must not be pulled across the base before or
during lifting. The attachment material may be damaged and the machine
might, at the moment of lifting, begin to swing in a totally unforeseen manner.
4. Immediately after the lifting has been started it must be ensured that the
attachment is all right, and that the machine is in balance.

Transportation and
Transportation of the machine
5. During all of the transportation the machine and its attachment should be
surveilled in order to make immediate precautions, if errors or dangerous
situations arise.
6. During the transportation of the machine all persons who may get under the
machine or dangerously near it must be warned.
Placement of the machine
7. It must be ensured that the machine can be safely placed, and that liberation is
not done before the machine is securely placed and supported.
8. The attachment material must be kept tightly while a necessary support of the
machine is made.
9. In areas with rail driven installations the machine must not be placed any nearer
than 0.5 m to the movable parts of the rail driven constructions.
10. The attachment material, which must after use be returned with the crane, must
be properly hinged in the crane hook.

PLACING
The machine is not sensitive towards minor disalignments on the placing foundation.
Alignment is mostly of cosmetical importance. As the weight of the machine is transmitted by
3 legs with almost the same load, there is no adjustment possibilities here.
Under every leg a rubber plate is to take up the vibrations.
Notice that the intermediate piece and the pre-bin must not rest on the feed screw.
Use flange assemblies between the different conveyor and bin parts, and connect these with
rubber packing.
DISMANTLING HOOK
In order to facilitate the dismantling of a screw which have become too firmly attached to the
main shaft, it would be practical if - straight in front of the extruder knife house - a hook is
placed in the building, to be used for a heavy chain pulley. In this connection it is appropriate
to fasten the machine firmly to the base.
STEAM SUCTION
The knife house is provided with an adjustable inclined flange which is able to shut tightly to
the subsequent shaft or conveyor belt. The shaft or the conveyor have to be provided with a
suction socket for the extraction of up to 800 m³ steam.
An adjustable suction capacity of up to 3000 m³/hour must be recommended.
CONDENSE WATER DISCHARGE FROM ASPIRATION
Please be aware that from the steam suction directly after the extruder, (conveyor or shaft)
large quantities of steam are to be extracted. This inevitable results in condensation in the
tube system. Addition of heated air may eliminate the problem, but more commonly the
construction considers this problem with adequate inclination and draining from pockets. The
minimum requirement to the suction system is that the condense water does not run back to
the line and into the product.

Raw material inlet and finished material outlet
INTERMEDIATE PIECE
Over the feed screw of the extruder an intermediate piece is usually (depending on the raw
material) placed which can contain raw material for ½-2 min. operation. The bin must always
be completely full during operation, only when running empty the bin is emptied. A sight glass
makes constant surveillance of the remaining compound quantity possible. The construction
of the bin must make "hanging" completely impossible. E.g. at least without decreasing cross
section, preferably with increasing cross section down towards the feed screw.
As regards to safety around the inlet to the feed screw, the assembly and the duct
immediately above the screw must at all times have the necessary protection (according to
DS/EN 294) against possible injury.
PRE-BIN
This bin, which is placed over the intermediate piece, should have a capacity of up to 20 t.
However one should take care that the compound added to the feed screw of the extruder
must have a constant volume, and therefore it cannot immediately tolerate the difference in
pressure from - as an example - 20 t of material from the silo and afterwards an almost empty
silo.
Large pre-bins should be equipped with agitator, bottom screw or a similar unit which will
ensure emptying without hanging and feeding with compound with a constant volume.
Generally a smaller pre-bin must be preferred which - when the pre-bin's ""halfway signal"
gives the indication - is automatically filled from a larger bin placed behind it.
SIFTING OF THE COMPOUND
Extraneous matters and larger particles in the compound have a tendency of becoming stuck
and blocking the nozzles of the extruder. It should be attended that the sifting is sufficient,
depending on the diameter of the required product. Remember that the die hole is only 2/3 of
the finished product's diameter.
When producing with die diameter less than Ø2 mm the sieve should be placed immediately
before the pre-bin.
TREATMENT OF THE FINISHED PRODUCT
The rotating knife of the extruder, and the construction of the knife house ensures that the
pellet formed product is thrown out from the knife house in a fan shape. The product may
thus be delivered on a belt, spread out on a width up to 1000 mm, and, depending on belt
speed, with any density.
97.05.30.
Extruder 1.9
Installation
Installation, connection
It should be noticed that the product, when leaving the extruder, is momentary more than 100
degrees hot, and therefore it develops up to 800 m³ steam per hour (depending on product).
As regards to safety around the outlet from the knife housing it should be assured that the
assembly and the outlet itself, according to DS/EN 294, is sufficiently protected against injury.
BY-PASS OF COUMPOUND
During start-up of the extruder a small compound quantity is now and then operated round
the extruder, but through the conditioner in order to pre-set the steam heating.
Discharging of by-pass compound may consist of a suitable wagon or, if possibility of taking
out whole charges is required, a shaft through the floor.
TREATMENT OF MISPRODUCT
During start-up, running down, control of correct die flow, exchange of knife head during
operation etc., an inapplicable waste product is produced. The product has a consistency
varying from thin gruel, thick dough, and to coherent freshly baked white bread in thin strings.
When the product is charactered as gruel, it is pressed out with large pressure and speed.
Splashes of up to 10 m are common, and as the material may be very hot, a suitable screen
should be constructed, which is able to catch this material and lead it the same way as the
other waste product. Splashes normally just occur at wrong operation.
At normal start-up and running down the waste product is thick and falls from the nozzles of
the machine as meat from a meat mincer. A practical way of discharging of this waste
product should be established. E.g. by an underlying conveyor of shaft to collecting bin.
The product can be divided into two types:
The first type is comparatively dry - max. 30% humidity - and this is by far the largest
quantity. This material is rather easy to dry and comminute for recycling equal to the sifting
dust. The other type is totally thin as a result of water and oil addition. This material is very
difficult to recycle.
CLEANING
During start-up and running down the machinery and the surroundings now and then become
quite dirty. Reasonable cleaning can only be done by washing down with water, however this
requires a sewerdrain! Limitation of the "wet area" appropriate.

Extruder with belt drive 1.10
Installation
Main V-belt drive
The Extruder is by Sprout-Matador provided with Optibelt V-belts of a very high quality.
These belts have a extremely long lifetime, and a very low bearing load, if they are
maintained correctly. If belts of another make is used, the lifetime will be shorter and the
bearing loads higher. If other makes are used after all, their technical department should be
asked for information concerning belt tensioning etc.
V-belt pulley with TB-clamp!
Shaft, clamp and cone in the belt pulley are

cleaned, cone and allen screws are oiled
with acidfree oil.
The pulley is hinged onto the shaft and the
clamp is mounted.
The pulley is turned until the thread holes
in it fit with the smooth holes in the clamp.
The allen screws are mounted and ten
sioned so that the pulley can still be
displaced on the shaft.
Alignment of shafts
Motor and plant shaft are aligned, if

necessary with machine level, until they are
parallel.
NB! Maximum deviation from 100% pa

rallelity is 0,5°.
Alignment of V-belt pulleys
V-belt pulleys are aligned, until the outside

of the belt pulleys are flushing according
to a straightedge.
NB! Check after tensioning of the clamps

that the V-belt pulleys are still flushing.

Mounting of new V-belts
The V-belts must allways be placed

loosely onto the belt pulleys, they must
never be forced onto the pulley.
Tensioning of new Optibelt V-belts
The motor is displaced parallelly until

correct tensioning [Tmin] is achieved. The
belt drive is turned and the [Tmin] value is
checked, if necessary retension. This is
repeated until the [Tmin] value is constant!
The belt tensioning is checked first time
after 0.5-4 hours of operation with full load.
Belt tensioning values, see page T

Max. permittable angle deviation
When the belts are tensioned the belt

pulleys are no longer flushing, e.g. there is
air at measuring point X!
X max.
DW: ≤ 335 mm 1.5 mm
≤ 1250 mm 5.0 mm
Control of V-belts
It is very important to keep the stated belt
tensions in order to obtain optimum lifetime
and bearing load. Therefore the belt
tensioning must be checked regularly, f.ex.
every 6rd month, and retensioned when
needed.
The belt tension values are found in above
diagram.
The V-belt pulleys are also checked for
wear regularly, f.ex. once a year, and
always at exchange of V-belts. If one belt is
damaged, all of the belt drive must be
exchange, as the belt tensioning will
otherwise be uneven.

1. There are three ways to hold the tension tester (see above figures).
2. Place the tester on the middle of the belt right between the two belt pulleys, parallel
to the belt sides. Push the indicator all the way down into the tester.
3. Place the tester loosely on the belt on which the tension is to be measured, and push
slowly with one finger on the pressure surface as shown in fig. A, B, C. (Avoid
touching the tester with more than one finger during measuring).
4. Stop pushing immediately when a CLICK is felt or heard. the indication will remain in
the measuring position.
5. Move the tester carefully so that the indicator arm is not pushed out of position.
6. Read the belt tension. (reading is done where the upper edge of the indicator crosses
the measuring scale).
7. To ensure correct reading the position on the scale on which the upper indicator edge
is placed can be marked with a thumb nail.
8. Adjust to larger or smaller tension, until the indicator showns the required belt tension.

PIPE INSTALLATION
The pipe works are carried out according valid regulations for steam installations.
STEAM
All pipings must of course consider that there is free access to the operation levers of the
machine. This especially goes for the area round the by-pass outlet on the backside of the
extruder.
At steam installation, please always remember to establish an inclination towards the

condense discharge. This also goes for the conditioner steam manifold which before
connection can be turned into a position giving the right inclination. Mount small ball valves
on the "T" branch in front of every water discharger for control of draining.
Steam connection to conditioner, (see pressure and capacities on the next pages) takes
place at "A", however the manifold can be turned so that connection can take place at the
opposite end.
Opposite the connection end, and with inclination towards this, condense drain is
established.
It should be noticed that the return must be completely without counter-pressure if the water
discharge of the manifold is to function during operation when it is submitted to low pressure
only.
If it is not possible to establish such a counter-pressure-less return, a discharge to the open

must be established for this drain alone.
The weight of the pipe installation must not be submitted to the manifold!!
For pre-heating of the extruder, and for process addition in the extruder screw, high pressure
steam must be connected at “D” (see pressure and capacity in the next pages).
WATER
Common tap water is used.
Water connection for cooling of screws connected to "C".
Process addition of water takes place through a water pump. The connection takes place at
"G".
Water addition to the conditioner takes place at “H”.

OIL
During starting and stopping oil (fish oil) must briefly be added to the compound. This is

Extruder 2.1
Extrusion principle
Extrusion means something like, continuous shaping by pressing through a nozzle.
The first extruders were taken commercially in use shortly after the 2nd World War.
The new process was used for the paste production (spaghetti). Paste is extruded cold, e.g.
below 100°C.
During a few years technics were developed to combine the mentioned shaping process with
a heat treatment.
The heat treatment of food and feed stuffs is important in order to increase the nutrient value.
Extrusion of feed stuffs as an alternative to pellet pressing gives the following advantages:
Improved digestibility.
More uniform pellet size.
Almost no formation of fines.
Possibility for control of expansion, (and thus the bulk weight).
Possibility for fat coating with up to 30% without dissolving of the product.
The product is not dissolved in water.

Extrusion principle
MATADOR EXTRUDER
The Matador Extruder is a HTST (High Temperature Short Time) cooking Extruder. The
machine was from the beginning developed especially with regard to the production of feed
stuffs, but can also with a few changes, e.g. another construction material, be adapted to the
more strict hygiene demands to the food production.
Heating of the coumpound can take place in several paces:
1. Steam addition in the conditioner.
2. Steam addition into the extruder barrel.
3. Friction heat from kneading and pressure.
Using one, or usually more, of the above heat sources the result is a coumpound/dough
temperature of between 110 and 180°C. Then the dough is mixed and kneaded under high
pressure before it is pressed through the die plate with very thin viscosity.
In the die plate the product is shaped and cut to the required length.
Just after the extrusion the product is very hot and soft, but shortly after, a thin crust on the
surface is created, which prevents from conglutination.

Extruder 3.1
Description of general function
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
MATADOR EXTRUDER
Construction: The dosing screw is driven by a adjustable gearmotor, controlled from

the control panel. The screw doses very precisely, and the quantity is
showed on an instrument as kgs/h.
The conditioner throws the coumpound around, so that the added steam
gets the possibility to give off its heat to every particle.
When the coumpound leaves the conditioner, the coumpound is still
loose and without lumps, only hot and moist.
The flap box gives a possibility for by-pass of the coumpound until the
right temperature is reached and a homogeneous steam addition is
controlled.
The first part of the extruder screw has a relatively large pitch and
conveyer the coumpound forwards, and at the same time the liquids are
added.
Liquid addition in the mixer and extruder barrel are controlled by manual
valves. The added volume is shown on the flowmeter in the extruder
rack.
The steam addition in the extruder pipe is more difficult to

quantity-measure, but here a large accuracy is not requested. A common
seated valve with a tuning dial is normally sufficient.
The pressure setting. In the end of the transport zone an accumulation of

material takes place. The pressure increases heavily, normally to 40 - 60
bar. The zone is normally just 100 - 200 mm long.
This very heavy mechanical influence results in an increase in

temperature to 120 - 140 Co, depending on the configaration of the
screw and the sleeve formula - addition of water.
97.12.02.
Extruder 3.2
The kneading zone. After the Pressure setting zone the screw is constructed
with regard to giving the material the best possible kneading. The dough has
now a temperature of more than 100°C, but does not parboil, as at the same
time the pressure is at least 20 bar (at 20 bar boiling point of water is 215°C).
The die head. At the end the material is pressed through the die head and thus
the die plate. The die plate is in its main measurements always alike, but as
regards hole shape and number of holes, they may have a lot of variations. The
total hole area must however be adapted, so that the die plate can create the
counter pressure, which is necessary for the passage from the transport zone to
the compression zone to take place exactly where it gives the right kneading
length at the given capacity.
The knife house. When the pre-kneaded and hot dough comes out of the die
and into atmospherical pressure, the water content of the dough boils intensely
for a moment. When at the same time the dough is sufficiently gelatinized as a
result of the heat and the kneading, an infinite number of small bubbles of air
are created in the dough.
The expansion varies a lot depending on formula, parameters die plate etc
The knife. In contact with the die plate a knife head with 4 or 6 knife blades
rotates. The number of revolutions of the knife motor, and thus the length of the
pellets, are adjustable from the control panel.
97.12.02.
Extruder 3.3
Parameters: The necessary temperature, the retention time during the high
temperature, the kneading time and the necessary pressure, which are
the key factors for a perfect product, are completely dependent of the
raw material and the recipe, they may even change a little from charge
to charge.
The parameters for the treatment of a product can only be determined by

practical operation tests. However previous experience in the influence
of a certain parameter to the end product may be a support.

Process principle
Process principle
As extruded products have very different formulas and buyers, no rules can be made for the
optimum appearance and physics of the extruded product.
The following advice is based on fish feed, in which approx. 20% of the raw material is wheat.
The starch content of the wheat is transformed by heat, and conglutinates the pellet's content
of non-adhesive ingredients of the pellet.
The gelatinization is a result of:
Temperature
Time
Humidity
Pressure
Kneading
If you are forced to change one of these parameters, e.g in order to increase the capacity,
one or several of the other parameters must be adapted, so that they can compensate for the
change.

Extruder 4.2
Process principle
Fig. 1 shows the typical behaviour of the temperature through an extrusion process.
1. Heating by steam addition in conditioner. Max. temperature approx. 98°C.
2. Temperature change because of water addition, often not heated.
3. Temperature raise because of addition of steam in the extruder pipe.
4. The material is compressed in the extruder pipe of the screw to between 20 and 80
bar, depending on the product and the machinery arrangement. Thus a strong friction
and therefore heat arises. The heat makes the dough thin, and when the dough is thin,
the friction falls. In this way the heat transmission stabilizes.
5. In the kneading section the dough is thoroughly kneaded, so that all the material
obtains the same temperature, and the gelatinization is completed by kneading and
retaining of the necessary temperature for the process. The chemical process results
in a small temperature decrease.
6. When the product comes out into atmospherical pressure with a temperature of more
than 100°C, the water content parboils immediately, and the product expands. At the
same time the evaporation cools the product until a temperature of just below 100°C.

Screw arrangement
Screw arrangement
Fig. 2 shows a possible screw arrangement, the manner of working to be explained below:
In order to comprehend the following, the conception "theoretical capacity" must be

explained. Theoretical capacity is the maximum capacity, which a given screw will be
able to transport, if there is no counter pressure in the coumpound.
When the coumpound enters the barrel at the 0-screw, it is immediately transported in
direction of the die. The filling is small, as the 0-screw has a large theoretical capacity.
In section 1 or 2 water and steam is added.
From section 2 to section 5 short screw are mounted. These short screws can be changed.
There are several different screw types and their names refer to the screw figure. A
single-thread screw with a pitch of approx. 120 mm is thus called "120/1 Screw", and a
screw with 2 threads and a pitch of 90, is called "90/2 Screw". The subsequent letters
mean: P = passage, which means that the screw allows return-passage through the
broken flights. K means conical.
There is also different types of sleeves. The 2 most often used types are a sleeve with
straight trace, and a sleeve with twisted trace. The a sleeve with twisted trace is most
suitable in the pressure zone.

Extruder 4.4
Process principle
Screw arrangement
Section 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 in must configerations have 120/1 (for Ex617) screws or 160/1 (for
Ex620) screws. The filling is somewhat increased in comparison to the 0-screw, as this screw
type has a theoretical lower capacity.
Section 5 is provided with a conical screw 70/2 KP (for Ex617) or 90/2 KP (for Ex620) The
pressure, approx. 30 bar, which is needed for pressing the dough out through the die holes,
is created by the screw in section 4. This zone is therefore called the pressure setting zone.
The dough will, because of the high pressure, pass the screw flights and thus completely fill
the screw. How far this overflow spreads is depending on the viscosity of the dough, and thus
on the water quantity added. By mounting pressure meters in the pipe, the length of the zone
can be inspected.
In section 5 the filling is thus 100%. The screw, 90/2 KP (for Ex620) or 70/2 KP (for Ex617)
kneads and mixes the dough. Because of the conical shape of screw 5, the theoretical
capacity decrease considerably, so that at the end of the screw there is only a limited
kneading.
When the dough has left the screw, it is lead out to the die plate.
If the counter pressure from a given die plate is too small, sufficient heat or kneading in the
compression zone cannot be reached. Then a suitable number of holes in the die plate can
be blocked.
The kneading zone can be extended by moving the pressure set to an earlier position, and
then mount a ½ kneading screw 80/1 P½ (for Ex620) or 60/1 P½ (for Ex617) in section 4. In
this way the kneading is prolonged and the retention time in the heated zone increased.

Extruder screw
Extruder screw:
The screw is split up into sections. First screw is a long "inlet screw", as in this place
only a simple transport and water addition takes place.
Hereafter screw sections of normally 250 mm length are used. The screws are preci-
sely manufactured, and are to be assembled so that no projections which might bother
the material transport, arises in the interface.
At the end of the main shaft a conical kneading screw is mounted, which is 100 mm
longer than the other standard screws.
Between all screws, tightly around the main shaft, there is a 0-ring of Viton. Do always
remember these 0-rings as they prevent the dough and steam from penetrating into
the hollow space between screw and main shaft. Such a penetration may make de-
mounting of screws very difficult.
Screw nut:
After the conical screw, in order to hold all the screws together, the screw nut is
placed.
C A U T I O N left-hand thread!!!!!!!!
If the screw is fixed with the supplied special key 007459, the following procedure can
be followed:
Secure that the O-rings on the screw nut are intact, and that both O-rings and the
surface of the nut against the screw and thread are greased.
If the assemblies between the screws - and also the free holes for the pins - are clean,
the screws will be assembled without gaps, when the tightening takes place with a
moment of 25 kgp/m (corresponding to approx. 70 kgs on the peak of the special key
by hand). Then after-tighten 3/4 revolution by beating on the special key with a ham-
mer.
The mentioned tightening ratio is calculated for identically heated screw and shaft.
Both more and less tightening may damage the machine ! ! !
N O T E !! If the screw is disassembled while the sleeves are still on the screw, take
care that there is no disassembling of the screw in the non-visual part. In this case
dust may fall into the gap and a tight fixation becomes impossible.

Screw barrel/sleeve
Barrels:
The extruder barrel is split up in 6 sections, assembled with 3 heavy stays.
Section 0: The first section is the inlet section, which is equipped with fitting for the
inlet screw. This section cannot be cooled/heated.
Section 1-4: These sections are all alike in length and appearance, except for the
inner profile, which either consists of lengthwise grooves or twisted grooves. The
sections consist of a sleeve which is tightened in both ends with 0-rings towards a
water jacket. The jacket and the sleeve are mutually fixed by 2 sockets which at the
same time gives the possibility of mounting: inlet valve for water, oil or steam,
temperature sensors and pressure sensors, not used sockets are blanked off with
plugs.
Section 5: The sleeve in this section is on the inside equipped with twisted grooves
and at the same time it is conical. The rear flange of the water jacket is very heavy,
and assembled with the sleeve with a press fit. The reason for the heavy flange is that
it transmits the assembling power from the three stays. On the flange a narrowing,
called "throat", is mounted.
Stay:
The three stays transmit a large power, and therefore they may not be exposed to
other loads than the one they are made for.
Welding on, heating to more than 200°C, drilling or cutting in the stays, or other kinds
of outside influence on the stays are FORBIDDEN.
The stay nuts must be fixed with the ball-side into the countersink of the flange, and
with a moment of 80 to 100 kpm. Always remember to grease the threads of the stays
and the ball surfaces of the nuts before assembling.
THE MAIN MOTOR MUST NOT BE

Die head:
The die and barrel head is hinged in a hinging plate, which easies the cleaning
considerably, as crane or force is not necessary to open the machine. The die head is
tightened by means of the die plate, which has always the same outside measure-
ments, packs it against the Viton 0-ring in the trace of the throat. The three nuts on the
stays do not, with their special discs which fixes the die head, need to be fixed very
hard.
97.12.02.
Extruder 7.5
Screw barrel/sleeve
Before mounting of the die plate, it should be secured that there is no dirt on the
contact surfaces of the plate and the head.
Temperature sensors in the barrels:
The sensors are of the type PT 100. The sensor is equipped with a jack plug which
provide a certain pressure against the bottom of the house. The sensors are con-
structed so that there is only a small metallic contact between the sensor house and
the barrel in which the sensor house is mounted.
There are 2 lengths of sensors. The long type is only constructed for mounting in the
socket -B- in the "5" sleeve where the distance to the screw is extraordinarily long
because of the conical shape.
The plug of the sensors are connected to the machine frame, and the indication takes
place on the control panel.
Avoid placing the temperature sensors in the area where pressure, and thus heavy
wear, arises, as the sensor will then wear disproportionately fast.
Pressure gauges in the pipe:
The inner pressure can be difficult to measure, amongst other things because of the
"hard environment" in pressure and kneading zones.
The problem is solved by means of a small chamber in the insert which is filled with
grease. Over the chamber a piston takes care of transmitting the pressure in the
dough to the grease, which again transmits the pressure to the manometer and
perhaps a transmitter.
Leaks in the system are compensated by pumping in more grease. Too much grease
is pressed out below the piston and into the dough. At the same time the piston and
the grease-reservoir is cleaned for impurities.
Special grease for food production machinery can be used.

The pressure can be read on the manometer on the insert, and, if pressure transmit-
ters are mounted, on the instrument on the panel.

Adjustment of knife and knife house
Adjustment of knife
and knife house
The knife house is hinged in a way which makes it possible for it to adapt to large variations
in construction length of the screw pipe and angle variations in the fixation position of the die
head.
The basis adjustment of the knife house must be made with fully mounted screw pipe and die
head.
An adjustment is made which - at closing of the house as precisely as possible - leads it into
the die head. E.g. so that the pivot of the knife house catches the pilot hole in the die head
and at the same time touches the die plate, both in top and bottom.
The adjustment systems for the knife house, which are placed on the top of the house, are
simple and obvious, and need no further explanation.
When the knife house has been adjusted to the correct position, the closing hinge must be
adjusted.
The knife house must be brought to contact the die plate so that the three support pins in the
die plate opening of the knife house are in good contact with the die plate.
When the closing hinge is closed, both of the fixation shafts must tighten actively so that the
disc springs are pressed together 2-2,5 mm.
After adjusting the house, the knife shaft must be adjusted.

The knife shaft is firmly connected to the knife motor, and the motor is firmly connected to the
motor base. This means that all adjustments of the knife shaft takes place by adjusting the
motor base, however with the exception of axial displacement which takes place on the hand
wheel above the motor.
Mount one, and only one, Stanley-blade in the knife head. Paint with marking paste or the
like (coloured grease), on the die plate. Close the knife house and lead the knife towards the
die plate with the spindle above the motor. Release the brake in the knife motor and turn the
knife shaft around by hand.
The motor console is now adjusted so that the knife just touches the die plate all the way
round, and so that the shaft is still in the centre of the die plate.
A large disc is fixed to the knife shaft through a hub with pointed screws. This disc should be
fixed so that the distance between the disc and the rear wall of the house is only approx. 3
mm.

Finally the knife head should be checked.
Mount all knife blades and fasten the head to the shaft (with an easy stroke on the collet
wrench). Put a clamp (flat iron or similar) across the die plate opening. Check now - while the
shaft is turned from blade to blade - that the distance between clap and knife edge is equal
for all blades. This straightness is of course present at delivery, but displacement may occur
during operation when the knife hits an extraneous matter.

Screw elements and screw shaft
At every assembly of the machine (screw elements, cooling jackets etc.) connection with
re-grouping of screw elements or in connection with cleaning and inspection of the extruder,
all contact surfaces on screw elements and cooling jackets etc. should be carefully cleaned.
Also the screw shaft and the thread on the inner stay as well as the thread on the screw nut
should be cleaned. All the parts should be treated with copper grease or another
"anti-seizure" lubricant before assembling. It is of great importance that the 0-rings between
the screw elements are intact and mounted correctly. The same is valid for the 0-ring on the
screw nut.

These belts have a extremely long lifetime, and a very low bearing load, if they are

bearing loads higher. If other makes are used after all, their technical department should be
asked for information concerning belt tensioning etc.

Control of V-belts
It is very important to keep the stated belt
tensions in order to obtain optimum lifetime
and bearing load. Therefore the belt
tensioning must be checked regularly, f.ex.
every 6rd month, and retensioned when
needed.
The belt tension values are found in above
diagram.
The V-belt pulleys are also checked for
wear regularly, f.ex. once a year, and
always at exchange of V-belts. If one belt is
damaged, all of the belt drive must be
exchange, as the belt tensioning will
97.12.02. otherwise be uneven.
