APPLICATION
The Kneader Extruder combines the efficiency of a double arm - sigma blade mixer with the convenience of an extrusion screw for the mixing and discharging of heavy viscous materials. Such as Adhesives, Explosives, Butyl rubber, Food and confectionery products, Moulding preparations, Soaps and detergents, Carbon pastes, Gaskets and Gland Packings, 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.

FAQs of Sigma Kneader Extruder:
Q: How does the double shaft sigma kneader enhance the mixing process?
A: The double shaft sigma kneader features two precisely engineered blades that rotate in opposite directions, thoroughly mixing and kneading even highly viscous materials. This mechanism guarantees excellent dispersion, uniform consistency, and efficient blending every batch.
Q: What materials can be processed using this Sigma Kneader Extruder?
A: This industrial mixer is designed to handle a wide range of materials, including chemicals, polymers, rubber compounds, food ingredients, and various pastes. Its robust stainless steel build and powerful screw enable processing of both viscous and semi-solid substances.
Q: When should I use a Sigma Kneader Extruder instead of a standard mixer?
A: Choose a Sigma Kneader Extruder for operations where conventional mixers struggle with high viscosity or require intensive kneading. It is ideal for demanding applications such as adhesives, sealants, dough, plastic compounds, or rubber blending, offering superior homogeneity and productivity.
Q: Where is the Sigma Kneader Extruder commonly installed?
A: This machine is widely installed in manufacturing units, process plants, chemical industries, and food processing facilities across India. Its durability and versatility make it a preferred choice for both exporters and domestic industries handling tough mixing applications.
Q: What are the benefits of the PLC-controlled system in this equipment?
A: The PLC-controlled system allows for precise regulation of mixing parameters such as speed, temperature, and timing. This automated control enhances process reliability, repeatability, operator safety, and product quality while minimizing manual intervention.
Q: How does the heating function support the kneading and extruding process?
A: The integrated 6 kW heating system ensures that materials maintain optimal temperatures during mixing and kneading, reducing viscosity as needed. This thermal control facilitates uniform processing and enables the machine to handle temperature-sensitive formulations effectively.
