Z Blade Sigma Mixer

The Z blade sigma/kneader mixer delivers the highest shear forces onto the products, using our longstanding and successful Z blade design.

Stainless steel construction throughout, with the option of 316 grade construction of product contact parts if required. These can be polished, bead blasted or left as mill finish. Special hardened steels and finishes are available for high wear applications which can be combined with replaceable wear tip blades and liners.

The blades operate at a low speed to apply as much energy to the mix as possible, an ω – omega shaped trough allows a tight blade clearance and sweep during the mix.

The kneading action created delivers a thorough homogenisation of the products.

Standard Features

  • Omega shaped mixing chamber with twin Z-sigma blades.
  • Inlet and outlet options to allow integration into a production line.
  • Pneumatically tipping machines to allow mass discharge and access for cleaning.
  • Push button control panel to allow easy operation of the machine.
  • Split gland shaft packing.
