Sigma Double Arm Kneader chemicals paints and dyes adhesives and plastics foods cosmetics and pharmaceutics

The SRUGO SIGMA KNEADER which is also known as the Double 'Z' Arm Kneader, is used for the mixing-kneading of materials with very high viscosities (over 500,000 cps). The SRUGO SIGMA KNEADER is used in the chemical, food, sealing compound and paint industries, among others.

On these machines the mixing arms rotate at different speeds (usually in the ratio of 3 to 2) in two semi-cylinders, the intersection of which forms a saddle piece and meeting tangentially just above the saddle. The mixing action is a combination of bulk movement, smearing, stretching, folding, dividing, and recombining as the material is pulled and squeezed against blades, saddle, and side walls. Continually new layers of material are compressed and folded over one another and are subjected to shearing forces. New surfaces are formed and the components can penetrate. The blades, which are ground and polished, successively sweep all points of the trough surface during each revolution, at the same time dividing the batch continuously across the saddle piece and thereby rapidly effecting a perfectly homogeneous mix.

SPECIAL "DUPLEX" KNEADING MACHINE
SRUGO SIGMA Mixing Kneading Machines are twin basin kneading machines with two horizontally arranged kneading blades, which are deeply geared into one another and strip themselves reciprocally. The kneading blades are turning acc. to a ratio 1:2. Because of their different speeds, the blade sides approach and withdraw alternately. This causes high pressure tensile and shearing rates and therefore heavy friction in the kneading medium, which creates excellent dispersing and homogeneity. The shape of the kneading blades enables a steady flow of material from the side walls of the kneading trough to the middle of the kneading trough.

DISCHARGING ARRANGEMENT OF MIXERS
 a)tilting tank. For small machines tilt can be of a mechanical type (handlever or handwheel). For greater machines electromechanically or hydraulically powered. b)extrusion screw. The extrusion-discharge screw is located in the saddle section and runs in a cylindrical trough tangential to, and below the 2 mixing blades. During the mixing cycle the screw moves the material within the reach of the mixing blades, thus assuring a thorough blending of all the ingredients, and, at the same time, accelerationg the mixing process. At discharge time, the direction of rotation of the screw is reversed and the mixed material is extruded through suitable die openings in the side of the machine. The extrusion screw has its own separate drive so that blades and screw operate independently.
The large number of options available for the SRUGO SIGMA KNEADER enable it to perform particular functions or operate as a general kneader. Some of the options include:
extrusion screw SGE600 Standard sizes of SRUGO SIGMA KNEADERS range from 3 to 3000 liters with larger units available.
