Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a foaming synthetic material, for example, polystyrol, by means of an extruder, in whose entry the synthetic material is fed, to which by means of a fumigation aperture foaming gas in a liquid form, for example pentane, is introduced at a pressure maintaining the foaming gas in its liquid form, whereby throughout a following extruder region, the synthetic material provided with the foaming gas is homogenecised. For processing the reusable synthetic foam, this foam is supplied in a shredded to the extruder, from which prior to the fumigation aperture by means of a degassing aperture gasses contained in the synthetic foam are extruded, whereby the degassing occurs so far away from the entry of the extruder that the synthetic material has at least reached a doughy state in the region of the degassing aperture, and degassing and fumigation are performed at such a distance from one another that the foaming gas supplied to the fumigation aperture cannot reached the region of the degassing aperture against the current of the synthetic material.
