Zusammenfassung:Thermoplastic compositions useful for roadway markings are produced using a continuous systems and process methods that can reduce costs and improve product quality. Such systems comprise a feed system (100) comprising a plurality of feeders and a mixing system (400) comprising a mixer (440) and a smoothing system (401). Each feeder is configured to discharge a material (101) at a feed rate according to a selected product formulation. The mixing system (400) is configured to receive, heat, and combine the materials (101) to produce a thermoplastic material, and discharge the thermoplastic material at a determined discharge rate.
