The Sigma Mixtruder is also known as Sigma mixer with extruder screw, it is mainly used for the mixing-kneading of materials with very high viscosities. The Sigma Mixtruder machine is able to provide combined functions of compressing, stretching, folding, kneading & mixing, which makes it widely used in the chemical, food, sealing compound and paint industries, among others.
This vaccum Z blade sigma kneader mixer consist of mixing chamber, frame support, hydraulic system, electric control system, discharge system and two Z shape blade in the chamber drove by the motor.
The signal mixtruder machine is an efficient sigma type mixer with a screw in the bottom for unloading or extruding the mixed material. During the mixing process, the extrusion screw is driven in a reverse motion by a separate motor. This action of the screw pushes the material into the mixing zone and within reach of the blades, thus assuring a thorough blending of all the ingredients, and, at the same time, reducing the mixing time as compared with a standard sigma type mixer.
This Sigma blade mixer is widely used on many industries ,Food ,pharmaceutical, slurry ,soap .chewing gum ,bubble gum, CMC cellulose ,toothpaste ,silicone rubber ,hot melt adhesive .sealant .dye ,battery paste ,resin and cosmetics .areas
In the Sigma Blade Mixer machine, the two blades are designed to move at different speeds in oppoite direction, with one blade typically rotating at about twice the speed of the other. By different direction and at different speed ,it would help the material powders when working ,it can move from the sides toward the center of the bowl. The Sigma blade mixer ensures minimal dead spots during mixing operations, resulting in the production of high-quality materials
Such sigmal kneader mixer is specially used to knead or mix ,pulveriz high viscosity materials,it is suitable for many applications like mixing, kneading, Grinding, dispersion, drying etc, it is widely uses for mixing polyester putty,silicone rubber, rubber solution, biscuit dough, sauce,cellulose and battery,ink,pigment,Paint, Polymers Plastic, Putties,dyestuff, polymers etc.
Working Principle of Sigma Mixer
The working principle of sigmal mixer machine is same with the rubber mixing machine ,it is highly popular mixing equipment used for efficiently mixing and kneading high viscosity materials with utmost ease by ‘Z’ type (SIGMA) shaped kneading blades.
In the sealed mixing chamber, under the pressure of upper ram, the two blade rotates very accurately at different speed towards each other. These high-viscosity materials would be plasticized or mixed into the new required material by shearing, squeezing, stirring, rolling and other kneading.

Operation of Sigma Blade Mixer
Firstly, the material to be mixed is fed through the top of the kneader mixer's container , about 40 to 65 percent of the mixer’s total volumetric capacity. The inner blades are rotating through heavy duty drive systems,which mainly consist of a motor, gearbox, couplings, and gears. The speed of rotating blade can reach up to 60 metres per minute. Basically , the mixing homogeneity upto 99% within 10 to 30 minutes.
The mixer troughs can be provided with jackets for circulation of hot or cold media to maintain the required temperature conditions within the k eader mixer machine. The discharge of the material from the kneader mixer container is either by tilting of the mixer container, bottom discharge valve or through an extruder / screw located in the lower portion between the two trough compartments. The tilting arrangement of the container may be designed for manual operation or may be mechanized using motorized or hydraulic arrangement.
Application of Sigma Mixer
