SIGMA KNEADER :
Sigma kneaders, being our regular manufacturing machinery, Capacities from 5 lits LAB Model to 6000 lits Industrial Production. They are fabricated as per user defined standards, specific to product applications. We manufacture specific kneaders meant for pigment and ink industry for manufacture of specialty pigments and flushed colours.
CONSTRUCTION
TROUGH: The trough or Sigma Bowl is fabricated and bolted in
construction. The trough is machined to close tolerance to
minimize the clearance between the blades and the trough
walls. This ensures thorough kneading of the material. The
trough is provided with a mild steel jacket to circulate
heat transfer medium and is generally capable to handle a
pressure of 5 kg / sq. cm. The trough is provided with a
hinged lid with either light wt or heavy duty to suit vacuum
service on request.
SIGMA BLADES: The
blades are cast in one piece with integrated shaft. The
shape and profile of the blade is derived to suit specific
requirement so as to achieve optimum kneading results. The
blades counter rotate at different speeds to ensure
effective shear gradient.
DRIVE ASSEMBLY: A
perfectly machined and robust housing is provided with a
bearing housing, complete with a stuffing box to ensure
vacuum service. The housing is capable to take dynamic loads
and maintain a leak proof sealing. The stuffing box is
provided with ports to circulate cooling media (water) to
ensure gland cooling.
UNLOADING ARRANGEMENT: The
trough is provided either with a hydraulic or mechanical
motorised arrangement to tilt for unloading the mass
effectively. However, the laboratory size machine is
provided with manual tilting operation.
BASE FRAME: The base frame is fabricated from Heavy Steel sections and
clad with M.S. Sheets. The base frame is provided with
proper lug-supports with provision for proper foundation of
the machine. The rugged design ensures the machine to
withstand heavy static and dynamic loads.
