Sigma Blade Mixer

Working Principle

The ∑ blades rotate at different speeds parallel to each other, making the materials move from one end of the mixing shaft to the other end. The tearing and shearing action of the particles against the rotating blades and the side walls causes the disintegration of particles into smaller sizes. Discharging processed particles is attained by shaking the container or through the valves at the bottom of employing an extrusion screw beside the container.

In a tangential design, the blade rotates tangentially within the channel. Front blades spin faster than the back blades, usually in a 2:1 ratio.

The hydraulic lid opening system in the sigma blade mixer empties the hydraulic trough by tilting the hydraulic bowl directly into the container.

Advantages

· It ensures complete mixing of materials.

Sigma blade mixer consists of two blades that extend the entire length of the mixer. One arm is above the other. When turned on, the upper arm rotates much slower than the lower arm. These actions ensure that the ingredients are not left unmixed. Due to the different blade speeds and rotation patterns, all materials placed in the sigma blade mixer are removed and mixed.

· Can process different types of materials

Another advantage of sigma blade mixer is that it can process a wide variety of materials. The sigma blade mixer is designed to handle liquids, semi-liquids, solids, or lumps and wells.

· Can process different loads of material

The ultimate advantage of the sigma blade mixer is that it can handle large amounts of material. Many mixers are equipped to handle specific loads such as 100 liters of liquid or ten cubic meters of additional material.
