Sigma Mixer / Kneader Mixer- Z Blade

Application & Process

The Prism Sigma Mixer / Kneader Mixer- Z Blade is a versatile mixing and kneading machine that is widely used in a variety of industries. Its design allows it to handle highly viscous materials, sticky and dough-like products, and mix pastes, rubber, and heavy plastic masses. This mixer is particularly suitable for dry powder to wet phase mixing applications.

The process of using a Dual Drive Prism Sigma Mixer / Kneader Mixer- Z Blade involves placing the ingredients into the mixing bowl, which is then rotated by the mixing blades. The blades are shaped like a sigma (Σ) and are arranged in a double helix pattern, hence the name dual drive. The rotation of the blades creates a kneading action that thoroughly mixes and blends the ingredients.

The Dual Drive Sigma Mixer / Kneader Mixer- Z Blade is an efficient and effective mixing machine that is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, Agro, and Confectionary industries. Its ability to handle high-viscosity materials makes it an essential tool for many manufacturing processes.

The Prism Sigma Mixer / Kneader Mixer- Z Blade is capable of handling a wide range of materials, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers who require flexibility in their mixing processes. Its efficient mixing capabilities ensure that all raw materials are uniformly mixed, resulting in consistent product quality. The Prism Sigma Mixer is also durable and easy to maintain, making it a reliable choice for manufacturers who require a mixing solution that can withstand heavy use.

Salient Features

• Design is cGMP - Current Good Manufacturing Practices compliance.
• All Product contact parts AISI 316/ 316L & non contact parts AISI 304 or M.S.Painted.
• “UNIVERSAL” DOUBLE ARM KNEADING MACHINE commonly referred to as SIGMA MIXER consists of two counter rotating tangential rotors in specially shaped trough curved at the bottom to form two longitudinal half cylinders with sufficient overboard volume.
• The main trough is of fully welded construction. The rotors are taper bored and key-fitted onto stub shafts working on anti-friction bearings. The shaft sealing is achieved by PTFE Chevron Rings.
• The counter rotating Tangential Sigma Blades have a good mixing action, greater wiped heat transfer area per unit volume and minimum riding of material on the blades, ensuring optimum kneading.
• In the conventional model, a single motor coupled with gearbox drives the front blade which transmits part of the power through gear trains to make the rear bade rotate.
• Prism Sigma Mixers have Dual Drive System where two SIGMA configured blades are independently driven, with separate motors and gearboxes. Hence they are more energy efficient, vibration free and have reduced noise level apart from avoiding the external use of lubricant oil/ grease, thus eliminating possibilities of product contamination.
• The unit is provided with power assisted Hydraulic Tilting Device for easy and total discharge of material.
• Unlike conventional models, the ‘Sigma’ configured blades are independently driven with separate motors and gearboxes of selected ratios resulting in an amazing efficiency range of 95% to 98%.
• Elimination of Transmission Gears, has reduced the noise levels to 60 to 65 decibels, which is far below the industrial standards.
• Dual Drive delivers the required power to each shaft, independent of the other. This, coupled with well tested, strong Sigma configured blades has made the mixing efficiency, of this version the ‘best in its class’.
• “Made-to-mix-toughest-of-the-tougher-products” with ease.
• Different products, different recipes, often require different speed ratios between the front and rear blades which is possible to achieve in our Dual Drive System. In addition to different actual speeds of the blades, separate speed control can be provided for the motors.
• Smooth transmission of input power, stepless increase to achieve final speeds in pre-set time in the VFD ensures that shock loads are absorbed very smoothly.
• The right angle gearbox utilizes vertical space, resulting in saving of floor space by more than 25%.
• Dual Drive Mixer offers considerable saving in consumption of energy since the two rotors are driven independently.
• Aesthetic in appearance, operator friendly, sleek and simple, rugged in construction and highly energy efficient, our Dual Drive Sigma Mixer is sure to fulfil the long standing need for a rugged mixer with sleek features.
