Abstract

A method for producing a spiral pipe with a rib includes continuously extruding a thermoplastic synthetic resin material in a molten state into a tubular form so as to have a diameter and a predetermined wall thickness of a tubular body to be formed, and winding a rib-portion material in a molten state having a hollow shape or a solid shape in section extruded by an extrusion nozzle rotated about the outer periphery of the extruded and molded tubular body relative to the extrusion speed for the extruded and molded tubular body to integrally form a hollow or solid spiral member. An apparatus for producing such a spiral pipe with a rib includes a rotational body disposed on a frame through a bearing in the outer periphery of the extreme end of an extrusion die provided by inner and outer tubular extrusion die members integrally formed so as to extrude a thermoplastic synthetic resin through a nozzle orifice into a tubular form, and a rotational body provided with a cylindrical die having a nozzle orifice for extruding a rib member having a hollow section, the cylindrical die being positioned at the extreme end of the rotational body, the outer peripheral surface of the extruded molde…
