Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and to a device for injection molding plastic material, wherein the starting plastic material to be treated is first subjected to a pretreatment, wherein the plastic material is heated in a receiving container at a temperature below the melting temperature while constantly being mixed, and thereby at the same time is crystallized, dried and/or cleaned and/or the intrinsic viscosity thereof is increased. According to the invention, the plastic material pretreated in this way is transferred into a screw injection molding machine () having a screw () rotating in a housing () and being axially displaceable therein and/or acting as a piston, is plasticized in said screw, and molded into a molded part, for example a preform.
