Apparatus for directing the flow of material from a supply source to one or more shaping dies has a flow channel therein. A flow directing insert ( A) located in the downstream region of the flow channel spreads the material toward the outer walls and improves uniformity of flow in an exit zone ( ). In the downstream region ( ), the channel height is gradually decreased and levels off near the exit. The flow channel may be split into two or mom flow branches ( A, B), each flow branch having a flow directing insert ( A) therein.
