The Z blade sigma/kneader mixer delivers the highest shear forces onto the products, using our longstanding and successful Z blade design.

Stainless steel construction throughout, with the option of 316 grade construction of product contact parts if required. These can be polished, bead blasted or left as mill finish. Special hardened steels and finishes are available for high wear applications which can be combined with replaceable wear tip blades and liners.

The blades operate at a low speed to apply as much energy to the mix as possible, an ω − omega shaped trough allows a tight blade clearance and sweep during the mix.

The kneading action created delivers a thorough homogenisation of the products.

Our DC range of tumble blenders offers low-shear tumble blending of free-flowing materials.

The low shear forces ensure that the product has limited disintegration throughout the mixing process. Depending on the mixing application, our DC series is entirely made of stainless steel, with either special hardened steels or high-grade stainless steels.

The use of no internal moving parts within the process chamber optimises hygienic applications, encourages full discharge and makes the cleaning of the machine easy between batches.

Support structures and leg options can be designed and manufactured for specific factory needs.
