In order to control the fusion of a polyvinyl chloride plastic material which is being moved along a screw of an extruder from a feed section (36) through a compression section (37) to a metering section (39) and crosshead (26), the melt pressure is measured in the compression section. The melt pressure, which is indicative of the fusion qualities of the plastic material, is used to control the temperature of the plastic material in the feed section to cause it to be substantially homogenous at the crosshead.
