Two tier double arm kneading machine is a much- improved version of standard double arm kneading machine, especially developed to meet bottom discharge requirements.
The two-tier model has 50% more effective mixing and heat transfer area than conventional double arm kneading units of similar capacities.
Very efficient mixing and kneading is ensured due to the shape of the trough where the material being mixed is retained within the mixing zone. In conventional models, the material is allowed to escape the mixing zone during kneading i.e. the material climbs above the level of the rotor into the open space above the rotors.
In the two-tier design, the shape of the trough direct the material always into the mixing zone, never allowing the material to leave the mixing zone.
Depending on the characteristics of the material being mixed, time cycles can be as much as 30% to 40% less than conventional kneaders. Also a more homogeneous mix is achieved.
Further , because one of the rotor is above the other, only one discharge port is needed.
The carefully engineered rotors ensure thorough mixing, preventing accumulation of unmixed materials. Effective discharge of material with minimum retention-comparable to that of conventional kneaders-is ensured due to the configuration of the mixing bowl and the rotors.
These machines are ideally suited for “single product dedicated units”.
-
Skid mounted unit on single elegant rigid frame work
