    摘要: The apparatus (1) includes a frictional heater (2), within which a rotor (3) is utilised, which includes a substantially cylindrical member (4) disposed about a central axis (5). The rotor (3) is rotatably mounted within the frictional heater (2) such that the axis of rotation is co-extensive with the central axis (5). The substantially cylindrical member (4) defines an outer periphery (6) configured, in use, to bear against plastic whilst rotating. To help address various issues that may otherwise arise during operation of the apparatus (1), the outer periphery has a diameter of between approximately 0.2 m and approximately 2.0 m inclusive.
