An extruder screw mixing section has a plurality of threads formed on a body of the screw with a pitch defining mixing channels for moving material in a direction from a feed end to a discharge end of the screw. The threads and the mixing channels are interrupted by counter channels that divide the mixing channels into segments of similar diminishing depth profile. A portion of the material moves through the counter channels in direction from the discharge end to the feed end to promote better mixing and melting of the material.
