[Class 78 (i)] [Also in Group V] Apparatus for preparing ptastics for delivery to extruder or shaping machines comprises a hopper a to which the plasticisable material is fed in pulverulent or comminuted form so as to be capable of running freely, the hopper being connected through a valve a with a lower vessel b under suction to extract the air surrounding the descending particles, the air-free particles being compacted and plasticised in an extruding apparatus c which also acts as an air seal. A revoluble agitator a<2> is mounted in the hopper a which has a cover a<1> and the vessel b is connected to a suction pump s by a Pipe b<1> with a screen b<2>.
