Laboratory Vacuum Sigma Mixer with Screw Discharge
Product Description
Key Features
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.
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
