Continuous kneader for viscous applications

For engineers tackling high-viscosity challenges, this continuous kneader streamlines complex processes by integrating homogenization, shearing, and degassing, ensuring efficient material consistency and quality across various applications.

Processes High-Viscosity Materials Continuously

The UCP Industrial Continuous Kneader from HASLER Group is designed to tackle the challenges of processing high-viscosity materials. This equipment stands out by seamlessly integrating various production stages such as kneading, homogenisation, and shearing into a continuous process, ensuring efficient handling of demanding substances like epoxy paint and sorbitol tablets. It supports applications across industries including pharmaceuticals, ceramics, and hydrometallurgy, allowing precise control over complex formulations. Operating with co-rotating axes, it ensures low energy consumption and minimal wear, due to its robust build and abrasion-resistant design. The double-jacketed construction allows for precise temperature regulation from -20°C to +300°C, crucial for processes like crystallisation and chemical reactions. The system fits into any production line with multiple infeed and degassing points, and it offers easy maintenance through its accessible design. Equipped with SCMIII control for recipe precision and batch traceability, the UCP can be customized to meet your specific operational needs, making it an ideal choice for high-volume and low-throughput requirements alike.
