Abstract

This invention is a screw-type extruder for plastics comprising a screw in a cylinder providing a feed zone, a plasticizing zone and a homogenization zone. The screw threads in the plasticizing zone are provided with marginal passageways so small as to provide heat exchange between the plastic and the screw, the latter being heated by friction.
