Claims
- 1. A process for the liquid cooling and simultaneous calibration of a longitudinal section of a profiled article of thermoplastic synthetic resin which comprises applying a vacuum externally to the entire periphery of the profile surface of a longitudinal section of the profiled article while the article is drawn through a calibrating tool, said calibrating tool having at least one duct for introducing a liquid coolant into said tool and having a plurality of slots extending at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the tool and to the longitudinal section of the profiled article and adjoining the entire periphery of the profile surface of the longitudinal section of the profiled article through which the vacuum is applied to said profile surface via at least one other duct, directing the liquid coolant from the at least one duct into the plurality of slots to cause the liquid coolant to flow transversely along the profile surface to which the vacuum is being applied and then discharging the lliquid coolant from the slots and from the calibrating tool via said at least one other duct whereby the profiled article is cooled directly by the flow of the liquid coolant transversely over the profile surface which is under vacuum and which is being calibrated.
- 2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the coolant pressure is lowered prior to entrance of the coolant into a zone exposed to the vacuum on the profile surface of the profiled article to a value approaching the vacuum built up in said slots.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, wherein the at least one duct comprises a plurality of cooling ducts that are formed as open grooves in the longitudinal direction of the calibrating tool and each cooling duct having at least one coolant inlet and being connected with several vacuum slots.
