| 20160031142 | ROTARY TOOL EJECTION TECHNOLOGY - A rotary tool ejection technology utilizing manifolded air to eject contents from the cavities of a rotary cylinder. The cavities include orifices. The orifices are aligned with a channel positioned within the rotary cylinder such that fluid (including air and gas) in the channel exits the orifices. The orifices are assembled with porous inserts. Air entering the channel is ejected from the orifices, creating force acting on the contents of the cavity thereby causing ejection. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160031143 | ROTARY TOOL EJECTION TECHNOLOGY - A rotary die ejection technology is disclosed. A cylindrical die roll has a rotary cylinder having internal air and regulation channels. The outer surface of the rotary cylinder includes mold cavity or cutter cavity. The cavity may be in the form of a socket capable of receiving inserts, including plugs and tool inserts. The plugs and tool inserts may be partially or entirely constructed from a porous material. The mold cavity or cutter cavity is in fluid communication with the internal air channel. | 02-04-2016 |
| 20160052175 | RECYCLING OF BROAD GOODS WITH THERMOPLASTIC STABILIZER MATERIALS - A method is disclosed for recycling broad goods material into a flaked feed material. The broad goods material includes reinforcement fibers and thermoplastic material. The recycling method includes applying heat and pressure to impregnate the reinforcement fibers at a filament level with the thermoplastic material to form an impregnated fiber material. The method also includes cooling the impregnated fiber material, and cutting the cooled impregnated fiber material into flakes to produce the flaked feed material. | 02-25-2016 |

| 20150099027 | DEVICE FOR GRANULATING MELT MATERIAL - A device for producing pellets from a melt material. The device can have a perforated plate with nozzles from which a melt material emerges. Located opposite the perforated plate is a cutting chamber with a motor-driven cutter arrangement having a cutter head with at least one blade, and a cutter shaft. A coolant is introduced into the cutting chamber from an inlet apparatus. The inlet apparatus has a separate inlet chamber that circumferentially encloses the cutting chamber in the area of rotation of the at least one blade, and has an adjustable annular inlet nozzle arrangement. Coolant is introduced into the cutting chamber circumferentially and substantially radially inward from the outside. A substantially centripetal flow of the coolant is produced in the area of rotation, and the coolant and the pellets are conveyed to an outlet of the cutting chamber. | 04-09-2015 |

| 20150056322 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SELF-ALIGNING CUTTING HUB ASSEMBLY - A system that enables a cutter head to pivot for improved alignment with a cutting face or die is disclosed. The system includes a cutter hub and a driveshaft hub mated with a plurality of round, spherical, or ovoid surfaces to enable the cutter hub to pivot with respect to the driveshaft hub. The system can include a plurality of alignment pins with spherical surfaces to transfer torque from the driveshaft hub to the cutter hub. The system can also include a cutter head, which can include a plurality of cutting blades. The system can be used in cutting machinery, such as a pelletizer, where alignment of the cutting head and the cutting die (or other cutting surface) is desirable. | 02-26-2015 |

| 20100291253 | CLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR CLAMPING INJECTION MOLDING COMPONENT - A clamp assembly includes a base, a clamp, a cutting blade, and a connecting shaft. The clamp includes a first claw pivotably connected to the base via a first rotating shaft, and a second claw movable relative to the first claw and pivotably connected to the base via a second rotating shaft. The cutting blade is coupled to an end of the second rotating shaft away from the clamp. The connecting shaft has one end fixed to the second claw and the other end fixed to the cutting blade for making the cutting blade capable of rotating along the second rotating shaft together with the second claw. | 11-18-2010 |
