Extrusion system using infrared emissions to reduce oil presence
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11999075B2) discloses an innovative extrusion system designed to continuously form wet extrudate material with a honeycomb cross-section and controlled oil presence on the exterior surface. The system includes sensors to detect localized oil presence and infrared emitting devices strategically positioned to reduce oil content on the surface. The infrared emitting devices can be operated based on sensor output signals to target specific areas of the exterior surface, enhancing the quality of the extruded material.
Furthermore, the patent details an extrudate processing method that leverages sensor data and infrared technology to optimize oil distribution on the extrudate material's surface. By impinging controlled infrared emissions on selected areas of the exterior surface, the method effectively reduces oil presence, ensuring a consistent and high-quality product. The method also includes features such as controllable infrared blocking elements and the rehydration of porous structures post-infrared treatment to maintain the material in an optimal state. Overall, the patented extrusion system and processing method offer a sophisticated solution for enhancing the production of extruded materials with precise control over oil distribution and surface properties.
