Industrial sigma mixer extruder for homogeneous mixing and extrusion
Achieve precise mixing and seamless extrusion of diverse materials with a robust tool designed for high-shear processes, enabling consistent product quality while integrating efficiently into both batch and continuous production lines.
Mixes, Extrudes, and Homogenizes Industrial Materials
The ZX Sigma Mixer Extruder from Winkworth is engineered to elevate your production capabilities. It features twin Z-sigma blades and an extrusion screw at the heart of its mixing process, designed for optimal shearing and extrusion, making it a standout choice for complex materials and processes. With applications spanning adhesives, confectionery, pharmaceuticals, and ceramics, it can handle everything from epoxy adhesives to protein powders. Offering flexible volumes from 2 to 1800 liters, it seamlessly fits into batch or continuous operations with ease.
Equipped with options like a heating/cooling jacket and vacuum models for drying or de-aerating, this mixer ensures consistent quality through precise thermal management. Energy efficiency is highlighted by its energy-efficient drives, which minimize consumption through enhanced motor control. Constructed from robust stainless steel with customizable coating and finish options, it’s built to resist high-wear applications.
Automation is facilitated via a user-friendly HMI control panel, supporting recipe control and machine data storage for streamlined operations. Compliance with ATEX certification and options for GMP standards make this equipment adaptable across various regulatory environments. Maintenance is simplified with features like split gland shaft packing and easy-clean hinged endplates, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity. With customization options for rotor speeds and chamber configurations, Winkworth offers tailored engineering support to suit your specific production line needs.
