PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus receiving a viscous material such as rubber or a material similar thereto from an apparatus of a discontinuous cycle to continuously supply the same to an extrusion/rolling machine. SOLUTION: An apparatus 1 is provided with a vertical hopper which has at least two opposed side walls 3 between which conical augers 7 are received so as to be arranged in a state inclined with respect to a vertical axis so as to form a V-shape in the inward direction of the hopper and also provided with means 8 for independently driving the augers 7, means for cooling the augers 7 and the means 9 provided to at least one wall of the hopper to incline the augers from an inclined operative position to an almost horizontal inoperative position. |
