Apparatus for processing plastic material

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus for preprocessing and subsequently conveying or plasticizing plastics, comprising a container (1) with a mixing and/or comminuting tool (3) that can rotate about a rotational axis (10), wherein an opening (8) is formed in a lateral wall (9) through which the plastic material can be discharged and a multiple-screw conveyor (5) is provided with at least two screws (6) rotating in a housing (16). The invention is characterized in that the imaginary extension of the longitudinal axis (15) of the conveyor (5) passes by the rotational axis (10) counter the conveying direction (17), wherein the longitudinal axis (15) of the screw (6) that is closest to the container (1) is on the outlet side offset by a distance (18) in relation to the radial (11) that is parallel to the longitudinal axis (15), and the two screws (6) closest to the feed opening (80) run in opposite directions.
