Abstract

An extruder head wherein the housing for a mandrel has a lateral inlet for admission of plasticized material into an arcuate bore of the mandrel and the mandrel has two divergent connecting passages which cause the plasticized material to form a first tubular stream with two radial seams at the inner end of an elongated annular chamber which is defined by the housing and mandrel and wherein the material flows toward an extrusion orifice. The inner end of the chamber contains a ring which divides the first stream into two discrete streams one of which flows along a neck portion of the mandrel and the other of which flows around the ring. The two discrete streams merge into a fourth tubular stream downstream of the ring. The periphery of the ring and/or the neck portion of the mandrel has inclined baffles which subdivide the respective discrete stream into several fields whose boundaries at the downstream end of the ring are out of alinement with the seams of the other discrete stream. This insures that the fourth stream does not have any radial seams which extend all the way from its inner to its outer surface.
