1000 Liters Sigma Mixer

The ASM-1000 model has a working capacity of approximately 1000 liters and a gross capacity of approximately 1500 liters.

It is offered with a general-duty motor of 60 H.P. or a heavy-duty motor of 70 H.P. Power voltage can be customized to match the customer’s local requirements.

The mixer is fabricated from Mild Steel (MS), SS 304, or SS 316. Surface finishes can be customized from a matte texture to a high-reflectivity mirror polish. Mild steel versions receive an anti-corrosive red oxide primer followed by a dual-layer epoxy paint coat.

It uses highly synchronized, counter-rotating ‘Z’-profile (Sigma) blades that produce a tangential kneading effect. This creates bulk mass movement, stretching, folding, splitting, and re-amalgamation while applying intensive shear forces between the blades and the trough walls for thorough homogenization and particle breakdown.

Tangential blades meet tangentially and typically run at different speeds (often a 3:2 ratio); they are optimized for high-viscosity materials such as adhesives, rubber compounds, and pigments. Overlapping blades rotate at the same speed, suit lower-viscosity materials (e.g., creams, ointments, carbon pastes), and provide faster material interchange with gentler shearing.

Emptying can be performed via manual hand-wheel control or automated hydraulic actuation. Additional methods include vessel tilting, bottom-mounted discharge valves, or a lateral extrusion screw for controlled product removal.

Yes. It features adaptable temperature-control jackets for external heating (steam or hot oil) or cooling (water or chilled fluids), typically up to 200°C. The jackets are insulated with high-density mineral wool and protected by external metal cladding; optional blade cooling is also available.

The mixer has an ultra-close clearance between the trough wall and agitators to eliminate product accumulation, PTFE shaft seals for safe and food-grade compatible operation, and precision-crafted tangential Z-profile blades for streak-free homogenization.

It is used across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries. Key benefits include reduced labor costs, improved product quality, real-time monitoring and data logging capabilities, support for GMP compliance, and long-term reliability as a capital investment.
