A procedure for feeding plastic granulate into the intake opening of a plastic extruder with a storage tank, and with an intermediate storage tank resting on a weighing device. In the procedure, the specified quantity by weight of material processed for the particular batch is determined by the rotations of the extruder screw In order to specify a procedure in which the recipe-, or batch-, change times is considerably shortened and plastic granulate is conserved, it is provided that the intermediate storage tank is filled through opening of the storage tank discharge with a specific quantity by weight of plastic granulate, and the storage tank is filled with its constant fill quantity after re-closure of its discharge, when the sum of the weight of the fill of both storage tanks corresponds to the remaining quantity by weight to be processed by the extruder, and that the conveyance of plastic material into the storage tank is discontinued, and the storage tank discharge is opened one or more times, until she quantity stored in it has entered into the intermediate storage tank.
