SIGMA MIXER EXTRUDER

Sigma Mixer Extruder

Sigma Mixer Extruder

The Kneader Extruder combines the efficiency of a double arm – Sigma Mixer Extruder with the convenience of an extrusion screw for the mixing and discharging of heavy viscous materials. Such as Adhesives, Explosives, Mastics, Sealing compounds, Biscuit dough’s, Fiberglass resin dough’s, Metal powders, Silicone rubber, Butyl rubber, Food and confectionery products, Moulding preparations, Soaps and detergents, Carbon pastes, Gaskets and Gland Packing’s, Pencil erasers, Solid propellants, Ceramics Grinding wheel preparations, Pharmaceuticals, Sugar pastes, Chemicals, Hot-Melts, Plastics, Viscous rubber solutions, Chewing gum, Inks and pigment products, Putties, Crayon and pencil lead, Marzipan, Refractories.

The Kneader Extruder includes a set of counter-rotating kneading blades and a discharge screw. The blades are mounted on a horizontal axis in a u-shaped trough. Below the blades in a separate cavity is the discharge screw. During the mixing cycle the blades rotate toward each other while the mixing screw rotates in a reverse direction, constantly feeding new materials into the mixing blades. After the mixing/kneading cycle is complete, the screw is reversed and it transports the mixed materials from the mix zone out through a discharge die and on to further processing or packaging.

The Kneader Extruder has several advantages over conventional non-screw discharge kneaders:

  • Low mixing time approx. 15% less time.
  • Eliminates the manual task of scraping out sticky/tacky materials.
  • Eliminates operator exposure to materials of elevated temperatures or of a toxic nature, thereby improving plant safety.

Many Different sizes and designs are available to meet the most stringent process needs. Kneader Extruders are manufactured in many sizes from 5 through 2500 Liters capacity. Other sizes manufactured on request
