Abstract
A plasticating apparatus operates continuously to plasticate material which is delivered intermittently to a molding device, the plasticating apparatus including a first screw conveyor which rotates in a barrel, a backfeed passage within the first screw conveyor and a second screw conveyor in the backfeed passage arranged to recirculate material in a circuit extending back through the backfeed passage. The first screw conveyor reciprocates axially so that during periods of non-delivery of plasticated material, the capacity of the circuit is increased to accommodate the accumulation of added plasticated material generated by the continuous rotation of the first screw conveyor.
