Abstract
An arrangement for loading an injection unit of an injection molding machine by a stuffer apparatus wherein a uniform measure of plastic-like material is consecutively fed to the machine. The arrangement comprises a plurality of container units which are movable from a receiving position under a hopper to a discharge position over the injection unit of the injection molding machine wherein the material is rammed therein. As one of the container units is being emptied into the machine, another container unit may be filled, reducing time between successive loadings and unloadings thereof.
