Abstract

In a thermoplastic material extrusion line having a melt extruder, a gear pump, and a die aligned with one another, the gear pump is supported on a hinged articulable arm for swinging movement into and out of operative disposition in alignment with the extruder to simplify realignment of the gear pump with the extruder and the die whenever it becomes necessary to remove the gear pump from the line for maintenance or service.
