El proceso de producción de la cerámica: Una vez seleccionado el material, arcilla, se separan las impurezas visibles y se desmenuza. Se disuelve con agua y se mezcla con agregados calcáreos. La pasta diluida se pasa por un tamiz fino para eliminar gránulos e impurezas y se pone en secaderos para eliminar el agua por evaporación a temperatura de ambiente y obtener la pasta modelable. Se comprime la pasta en una extrusora para eliminar burbujas de aire. 1, record 1, Spanish, - extrusora

In a modern injection molding machine, the pellets are conveyed forward within the barrel by a rotating screw, and melt as they go. The molten plastic is deposited at the forward end of the barrel, displacing the screw backward. When enough material has been plasticized, a hydraulic cylinder pushes the screw forward, forcing the molten plastic ahead of it through a nozzle, sprue, runners, and a narrow gate into a water-cooled mold cavity, where the molten plastic solidifies. 2, record 3, English, - injection%20machine

A reciprocating screw machine is shown in Figure 12-18. As the screw rotates, melted plastic is pushed forward to the end of the extruder barrel, and the pressure pushes the screw in the opposite direction. When the necessary amount of melt has collected, a hydraulic cylinder moves the screw forward, forcing plastic out of the die head to form the parison(s). 1, record 4, English, - reciprocating%20screw%20blow%20molder

When the valve is open, the melting or plasticizing cylinder pushes the material into the nozzle end of the pot, forcing the plunger back. When the plunger moves back an experimentally predetermined distance, the filling stops and the valve is closed, because the backward motion of the plunger actuates a limit switch. At the appropriate time in the cycle the material is injected into the mold from the second cylinder, the so-called shooting cylinder or pot. This method of operation gives much better mixing of the plastic, more even temperature distribution, and better control of speed, pressure, and the amount of material. This type machine is called a preplasticizing machine. 2, record 5, English, - preplasticizing%20press
