The operation of a flexible pipe making machine typically involves several key processes, including material feeding, heating, extrusion, cooling, and finishing. Initially, raw materials such as resin pellets or granules are fed into a hopper, where they are gradually melted through controlled heating.
The operation of machine shears involves two primary components the upper blade and the lower blade
. The upper blade (or moving blade) applies a downward force, effectively compressing the material against the lower, stationary blade. When the force exceeds the material's shear strength, it causes the material to fracture along the line of cut. The angle of the blades, the speed of the cut, and the type of material being sheared are crucial factors that influence the quality of the cut and the finish of the edges.
