Abstract:

An extrusion die (100) for a honeycomb body, the die (100) including: an input surface (102); an opposing output surface (104); feed holes (108) extending from the input surface (102) toward the output surface (104); discharge slots (106) having a slot width (SW) and a slot length (SL), and extending from the output surface (104) toward the input surface (102); and a plenum (130) fluidly connecting the feed holes (108) and the discharge slots (106). The plenum (130) may include chambers (132) connected to the feed holes (108) and including tapered outlets (134) connected to the discharge slots (106). The plenum (133) may include first chambers (132A) connected to the feed holes (108) and including first tapered outlets (134A), and second chambers (132B) connected to the first outlets and including second tapered outlets (134B) connected to the discharge slots (106).
