Pellet extruders: Is the direct mixing of pellets with additives possible?

Fused granulate fabrication (pellets) is the main methodology used in plastic compounding. Pellets are more available and economical than filament, and they allow for the preparation of custom specialistic blends with a polymer base and a color or additive masterbatch. In plastic compounding, a pellet extruder with mixing screws is used to combine the melt.
