A coextrusion adapter for an extrusion installation with extruders and a
tool for producing a composite coextrusion structure of thermoplastic
material. The coextrusion adapter has a central conduit with an end at an
inlet side for connecting an extruder and an end at an outlet side for
connecting the tool. The coextrusion adapter has at least one coextrusion
conduit with an inlet end and an outlet end. A second extruder can be
connected to the inlet end. At an end facing the outlet end the adjusting
elements have a wedge-shape adjusting section with one wedge surface
facing the central conduit and another wedge surface facing the outlet
end of the coextrusion conduit. The adjusting section of the adjusting
elements is pivotal around an axis extending over the width of the outlet
end by the actuating drives. When an increase of the inside diameter of
the respective transverse section of the outlet end occurs the
corresponding transverse section of the central conduit is narrowed, and
vice versa.
