5L Vacuum Sigma Mixer Designed for High-Viscosity Laboratory Mixing


5L Vacuum Sigma Mixer with Screw Extruder for a customer in Norway. The machine is specially designed for mixing silica, different grades of methyl cellulose powder, and water, providing efficient dispersion and homogeneous mixing under vacuum conditions.


This laboratory kneader is equipped with a cooling jacket, 2HP industrial chiller, vacuum system and screw extrusion discharge, making it an excellent solution for high-viscosity materials that require precise temperature control and bubble-free mixing.


Whether for laboratory formulation development, pilot production or material testing, this compact sigma mixer delivers stable performance and repeatable mixing results.

Processing Challenges

① Powder Agglomeration During Wetting

Methyl cellulose powder tends to absorb water quickly and form lumps if the mixing force is insufficient.


Dry powder clusters

Uneven hydration

Long mixing time

Karvil Machinery Sigma Kneader uses two sigma blades to create:


Folding action

Compression force

Shearing effect


Ensuring gradual and uniform powder dispersion.

②Temperature Control During Mixing


In silica-cellulose systems, temperature rise tends to occur due to:


Shear

Prolonged operation

High viscous resistance


Why Cooling System Is Important?

The integrated cooling system helps maintain stable processing temperature during kneading.


Prevent material degradation

Improve batch consistency

Reduce viscosity fluctuation

Improve final product quality

Key Features

Laboratory-Vacuum -Sigma- Mixer -with- Screw -Discharge (8)



Vacuum Mixing up to -0.09 MPa

The built-in vacuum system removes trapped air during mixing, improving product density and consistency while reducing bubbles.

Sigma Mixing Blades

Mirror-polished sigma blades generate powerful kneading action, ensuring efficient dispersion of silica and cellulose powders.



Screw Extruder Discharge

Instead of manual unloading, the integrated screw extruder continuously pushes material out of the mixing chamber, reducing residue and improving productivity.

Jacket Cooling System

The mixing chamber includes a cooling jacket connected to a 2HP water chiller, helping maintain stable process temperatures throughout mixing.

FAQ

Why choose a sigma kneader instead of a normal mixer?

Sigma kneader is designed for high viscosity materials that cannot be processed effectively by conventional agitators.

Can this machine mix powder with liquid?

Why is screw discharge better for sticky materials?

Is vacuum necessary for methyl cellulose mixing?

Can this machine be customized?
