Abstract
A process and apparatus for the production of plastic material containing an additive in which the plastic material is supplied into a mixing tank to undergo vigorous mixing therein and the mixed plastic material is discharged by an extrusion screw at the bottom of the tank into a conveying cylinder in which the extrusion screw extends. The mixed plastic material is conveyed by the screw in the conveying cylinder for discharge of the plastic material at a discharge outlet. The plastic material is heated in the conveying cylinder to achieve melting of the plastic material and the additive is supplied to the melted plastic material within the conveying cylinder so that the additive is thoroughly mixed with the melted plastic material before discharge thereof at the discharge outlet.
