Detergent Cake Kneader 5-kgs-10-kgs-20-kgs-50-kgs-100-kgs

Models range from ASM-5 (approx. 5 liters working / 8 liters gross) to ASM-100 (approx. 100 liters working / 150 liters gross), with intermediate sizes of 10 L, 20 L, 50 L, and 75 L. Capacities align with the 5-kgs to 100-kgs range indicated in the product title (approximate conversion depending on material density). Motor options include general-duty and heavy-duty ratings matched to each size.

The machine is fabricated from Mild Steel (MS), SS 304, or SS 316. MS versions receive a rust-inhibiting red-oxide primer followed by a dual-layer epoxy paint finish. Stainless-steel surfaces can be supplied in low-sheen matte or high-reflectivity mirror polish as required.

Two counter-rotating ‘Z’-profile (sigma) blades produce a tangential kneading effect. The material is continuously stretched, folded, split, and re-amalgamated, generating intensive shear between the blades and the trough walls. This breaks down particles, eliminates lumps, and creates a smooth, homogeneous mass without product retention.

Tangential blades meet side-by-side (typically at a 3:2 speed ratio) and deliver higher shear, ideal for stiff, high-viscosity detergent formulations. Overlapping blades intermesh at the same speed above the central crest, providing faster cross-transfer and a gentler action better suited to freer-flowing or lower-viscosity mixes.

Yes. Optional temperature-control jackets allow external heating or cooling. The trough is insulated with high-density mineral wool and clad in protective sheet metal to maintain consistent temperature throughout the cycle.

Discharge options include manual hand-wheel tilting, automated hydraulic tilting, bottom-mounted outlet valves, or a lateral extrusion screw positioned beside the mixing chamber, allowing selection of the most convenient method for the production line.

An ultra-tight clearance between the blades and the inner trough walls eliminates accumulation. Resilient PTFE shaft seals provide safe, sanitary, leak-free performance compatible with food-grade or detergent applications.

While optimized for detergent cake production, the same sigma-mixer design is widely used for high-viscosity formulations in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries, as well as other dense pastes, adhesives, or elastomeric compounds.

Motors are supplied in general-duty or heavy-duty ratings (e.g., 1–1.5 HP for smaller models up to 10–15 HP for the 100-liter class). Voltage can be configured to local supply requirements. Modular upgrades include vacuum systems, controlled fluid-spray arrangements, alternative discharge methods, different blade configurations, and special material/finish combinations.
