Sigma Blade Mixer

Tangential ‘Z’ blades (front blade faster, typically 3:2 ratio) are suited for higher-viscosity materials like adhesives and rubber compounds, providing strong kneading and shearing. Overlapping blades (same speed) offer faster material interchange and are better for lighter viscosities such as creams, ointments, and carbon pastes, though with comparatively lower kneading intensity.

Discharge can be achieved through manual hand wheel tilting, hydraulic automatic tilting, bottom valves, or an extrusion screw system. Additional options include automatic valve discharge systems for efficient product removal.

Yes. A jacketed trough supports heating (via steam, hot water, or electric heaters) and cooling (via chilled water circulation), with mineral wool insulation and cladding available for energy efficiency and temperature control during mixing.

The mixer is available in Stainless Steel 316, Stainless Steel 304, or Mild Steel. Stainless steel options come with matt or mirror polish finishes, while mild steel features red oxide primer and epoxy paint. Blade materials include AISI 1030, CF8, and CF8M, with trough gauges from 3mm to 30mm.

A minimum gap between the trough inner shell and blades reduces product stagnation. Combined with PTFE or silicon shaft seals (food-grade compatible), smooth polished surfaces, and options like easy-tilt discharge, it supports hygienic operation and straightforward cleaning, making it suitable for GMP-compliant environments.

Models range from ASM-50 (50L working capacity) to ASM-3000 (3000L working capacity). Motor horsepower varies from 5 HP (general) / 7.5 HP (heavy duty) for smaller units up to 100 HP / 120 HP for larger ones, with customization up to 250 HP and support for various power voltages.

Yes. Fixed or variable speed operation is offered, often with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). Additional automation includes vacuum systems, liquid spray systems, screw feeding/discharge, and blades cooling arrangements to match specific process needs.

It features high-grade stainless steel construction, PTFE/silicon seals for food compatibility, mirror polish finishes, minimal stagnation gaps, and jacketed designs that support precise temperature control. These elements ensure compliance with hygienic standards and easy validation in regulated industries.

Highly customizable. Options include trough thickness, motor HP (1.5–250 HP), blade types, discharge methods (manual/hydraulic/screw), heating/cooling systems, feeding mechanisms (manual/vacuum/screw), sealing materials, finishes, and voltage configurations to suit diverse viscosities and regulatory needs.
