Multicolored soap bars

Abstract

This invention relates to an apparatus end method for introducing various additives in solid form into a soap mass for the ultimate manufacture of soap bars. Specifically, the invention is directed to producing soap bars having a multicolored or marbleized appearance and made from a variety of different colored soap materials. Soap pellets having a color are introduced into a soap plodder as is customary. A second or alternate color of soap pellet is separately introduced into the interior of the plodder just before that point where the helical screw of the plodder enters the barrel of the extruder portion of the plodder. The plodder has been structurally modified so that the second or alternate color pellet is introduced into the plodder by means of a special feeding apparatus which not only controls the rate of delivery of the alternate color soap pellets but insures the pellets are directly introduced into the chamber formed by a flight of the helical screw immediately before the point where the screw enters the plodder barrel.
