ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A plastic extruder comprising a rotating helical screw within a cylindrical shell. An automatic shut-off valve is mounted at the forward end of the helical screw. The valve includes a unitary or integral valve body and a poppet which is axially movable and is rotatable relative to the valve body. A rearwardly extending axial bore is provided at the forward end of the screw and the valve body extends into and is secured to the screw within said bore. The poppet has an axial stem which extends through the valve body into the axial bore. A compression spring is mounted on the rearward end of the poppet stem to act cooperatively with respect to the poppet to urge the poppet against a seating surface of the valve body and maintain the valve in a normally closed position. Flow of plastic through the valve upon rotation of the screw causes the valve to open. However, the valve automatically closes upon cessation of screw rotation to prevent back-flow of plastic during the injection step.
