Apparatus for processing plastics material

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and a process for processing plastics material, which has at least one receptacle (1) in which at least one mixing and/or comminution tool (3) which can rotate about an axis of rotation (10) for mixing and heating the plastics material is arranged and which has at least one conveyor (5) for discharging the plastics material from the receptacle (1) having at least one screw (6) which rotates in a housing (16), where the conveyor (5) is joined at its materials inlet side to the interior of the receptacle (1) via an opening (8) formed in a side wall (9) of the receptacle (1) for introduction or feeding of the material, where the opening (8) is arranged in the region of the height of the mixing and/or comminution tool (3). The invention is characterized in that the imaginary extension of the central longitudinal axis (15) of the conveyor (5) or the screw (6) counter to the transport direction of the conveyor (5) runs past the axis of rotation (10) of the receptacle (1) without intersecting this, where the longitudinal axis (15) of the conveyor (5) is offset by a distance (18) relative to the similarly directed or parallel radii (11) of the receptacle (1) on the outlet side or in the direction (12) of rotation or movement of the mixing and/or comminution tool (3) running past the opening (8) or of the plastics material moved past the opening (8).
