Double sigma kneader for viscous product mixing

Optimize the mixing and kneading of high-viscosity products with our double sigma arm mixers, engineered to enhance processing efficiency and ensure consistent product quality, perfect for demanding food and confectionery applications.

Intensively Kneads and Mixes High-Viscosity Dough

The Double Sigma Arm Mixers from Carugil are engineered for high-capacity and efficient processing of high-viscosity products such as dough and confectionery. These mixers feature dual sigma kneading blades that ensure thorough mixing and kneading, crucial for achieving consistent texture and product quality. They are equipped with a double-jacketed mixing bowl for precise temperature control, essential for processing delicate food items like chewing gum bases, toffee dough, and nougat.

The machines can handle a variety of applications, including mixing, kneading, and extruding, making them ideal for food processing companies, confectionery manufacturers, and industrial bakeries. Designed for continuous operation, the mixers offer automated controls with an optional Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for adaptable speed regulation, reducing energy use and increasing operational flexibility.

Carugil’s mixers come with a range of customization options, including specialized die heads and extrusion spouts, which facilitate direct integration into various production lines. Constructed from polished stainless steel, the equipment ensures durability and easy maintenance, meeting the rigorous demands of food industry standards while providing efficient, reliable, and high-quality production solutions.
