A feeding arrangement for feeding comminuted material to a treatment stage using a plug screw feeder. The invention relates to a design of the inlet to the plug screw feeder wherein, at least 2 chutes (20a,20b) are arranged to feed material to the feed screw (10), and that the cross section of each chute is arranged such that more than 50% of the outlet cross section of a first chute (20a) is located on one side of the feed screw axis (CC) and more than 50% of the outlet cross section of a second chute (20b) is located on the other side of the feed screw axis. In an upgrade version for existing plug screw feeders with large rectangular inlets is an insert body (11a) used filling the rectangular inlet, besides the chutes (20a, 20b) passing through the insert body (11a).
