ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A foam extrusion apparatus and method employs one or more extruders mounted on horizontal rails for movement toward and away from the end of a vacuum chamber which is in the form of an elongated inclined barometric leg. The upper end of the chamber is closed by two, substantially concentric in the closed position, substantial bulkheads, each also supported on rails and held in an inclined position to close the upper end of the chamber when moved, one against the chamber and the other against the one. A die is positioned on the inside of the other or smaller bulkhead and aligned with the leg when closed. The extruders are connected to the die through a length of pipe extending through the smaller bulkhead and sealed by a bellows. A shaping mechanism is supported on the interior of the one or larger bulkhead surrounding the die when both bulkheads close the upper end of the inclined barometric leg or vacuum chamber. The die is adjustable externally of the bulkhead. The extruders, die and bulkheads are movable as a unit or separately toward and away from each other to provide access to the die, to the shaping mechanism, and to the interior of the chamber.
