Double Z Blade Mixer

The mixer uses tangential action from the Z-shaped (SIGMA) kneading blades that rotate accurately at different speeds toward each other. This transfers product from one end to the other through bulk movement, stretching, folding, dividing, recombining, shearing, and tearing. Discharge occurs via tilting the container, bottom valves, or an extrusion screw.

It is available in Stainless Steel 316/304 or Mild Steel construction with matt/mirror polish or epoxy paint finishes. Other features include manual or hydraulic discharge, optional heating/cooling jackets with insulation, tangential Z-blades for uniform mixing, PTFE shaft seals for food-grade use, minimal blade-to-trough gaps to prevent sticking, and on-demand spray or vacuum systems.

It is widely used in the Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, Herbal, Ayurvedic, Biotech, Cosmetic, and Chemical industries for processing high-viscosity pastes, creams, compounds, adhesives, rubber, dyes, pigments, and more.

Models range from ASM-50 (50L working / 80L gross, 5–7.5 HP) to ASM-3000 (3000L working / 3800L gross, 100–120 HP). Power voltage can be customized to local requirements. Fill volumes are typically 40-65% of trough capacity.

Discharge is available via hand-wheel (manual) tilting, hydraulic (automatic) tilting, bottom valves, or extrusion screw. Hydraulic tilting can reach up to 180° and often includes low-speed reverse blade rotation to aid complete emptying.

Yes. Optional jackets for heating or cooling (with mineral wool insulation and cladding) and cored blades provide precise thermal regulation, essential for maintaining optimal material consistency and reaction conditions.

It excels at high-shear kneading and homogenization of sticky/dense materials, offers customizable blade designs, energy-efficient operation for viscous batches, quick uniform mixing, scalability from lab to production sizes, and consistent, repeatable results with minimal waste.

Tangential Z-blades (different speeds, higher shear) suit high-viscosity materials like adhesives and rubber compounds. Overlapping blades (same speed, faster material interchange) are better for lighter viscosities such as creams, ointments, and carbon pastes.

Food-grade stainless steel construction, smooth polished surfaces, PTFE seals, minimal gaps to reduce product sticking, and easy-tilt designs support GMP compliance, quick cleaning, and low maintenance. Hard chrome plating on blades enhances wear resistance.
