This depends on Polymer, Carbon type and<br />
PHR, Viscosity, Lead angle (Bevel) of die etc.<br />
Some of the die heads include:<br />
1) Straight Head / Tube Head for hoses<br />
(circular or square) and technical profiles.<br />
2) Cross Heads for hoses and technical<br />
profiles <strong>from</strong> one, two or three different<br />
compounds.<br />
3) Single Tread Heads for rubber profiles.<br />
4) Multiple Tread Heads (Piggy-back) for<br />
rubber profiles.<br />
5) Slit Tube Heads for producing sheets<br />
inexpensively.<br />
Die swell depends on Polymer,<br />
Carbon type and PHR, Lead angle<br />
of die, etc.<br />
6) Preform Heads for sheets and rubber<br />
profiles.<br />
7) Strainer Heads to strain raw rubber,<br />
rubber compounds and reclaim rubber.<br />
8) Pelletizer Heads to process rubber<br />
materials ground into granules.<br />
9) Pork chop Heads to produce granulated<br />
raw rubber.<br />
