question 3:

Question 3: 1. Granules of plastic powder (note the plastics listed above) are poured or fed into a hopper which stores it until it is needed. 2. A heater heats up the tube and when it reaches a high temperature a screw thread starts turning. 3. A motor turns a thread which pushes the granules along the heater section which melts then into a liquid. The liquid is forced into a mould where it cools into the shape (in this case a DVD storage unit). 4. The mould then opens and the unit is removed.
