The present invention is for a mixing machine for plasticizable compounds which attaches directly to a molding machine and which is used to color a base material with a color additive. The apparatus receives a base material and color additive for mixing and has a mixing chamber within which the compounds are mixed. The machine has a central impeller which drives a first and second helical flight one of which is right handed and the other is left handed. The material is folded over itself within the mixing chamber before depositing into a molding machine. The mixing chamber consists of a cylindrical housing which has a drive motor attached to one end wall, the other end wall being removable. The housing has a substantial portion of its lower wall remove to form an exit aperture into a downwardly extending funnel. The plasticizable material enters with the additive through the top portion of said housing, is mixed within said housing by said helical flights and is then deposited through said exit aperture and said funnel.
