Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing an adhesive closure element made of a thermoplastic synthetic material, by means of an extruder, which is produced without the need for screens, using a tempered forming cylinder (3) coated in rubber and a pressure cylinder in the form of a tempered pressure and smoothing cylinder. According to the invention, the synthetic material of a strip of film (2) is compressed by a wide split nozzle (1) of the extruder into pin holes (4) embodied as pocket holes in a rubber layer (7) which is arranged on the tempered forming cylinder (3), said layer of rubber (7) and the pin holes being provided with a teflon covering. The pin strip (5) is guided by means of a tempered withdrawal cylinder (10) between a gap with a gap with a pression cylinder (9) heated to a temperature greater than 230° C. and covered with PTFE at a low speed of between approximately 1 m/min. and 20 m/min. Alternatively, the pin heads (11) are formed by a plasma device (13) or by a plasma are (14) produced therefrom and the strip is displaced at a speed of between 12 m/min. and 200 m/min.
