Abstract

A method and a device are disclosed for feeding a number of strips of material of one constituent from different batches thereof, into each extruder of a single- or multiple-extruder system in order to ensure that the extruder product from each extruder is more consistently uniform. To achieve this, such a system is fed from one end from pallets deposited on conveyor belts so that a plurality of strips of material from different batches, but of the same mixture, are fed into each appropriate extruder hopper. The empty pallets are removed from the pallet system by a conveyor belt passing along the charging end.
