Abstract
The present invention provides a process for mixing additives into a polymer melt steam, wherein a substream is removed from the polymer melt stream, mixed with additives, and then fed back into the polymer melt stream. In this process, the unmixed substream is sent as a single substream or in a maximum number of n−1 additional substreams directly to one up to a maximum number (n−1) of pump gear wheels of a planet wheel pump with n pump gear wheels. The additives are simultaneously supplied directly without mixing to at least one pump gear wheel of the planet wheel pump, and the substream mixed with the additives is removed from the planet wheel pump centrally at the inlet of the planet wheel pump and fed into the polymer melt stream.
