A sigma mixer, also known as a double-arm kneader or a double-z mixer, is a type of mixing equipment commonly used in various industries, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and plastics. It is specifically designed for mixing and kneading high-viscosity materials.
The sigma mixer consists of two counter-rotating blades shaped like the Greek letter sigma (Σ), hence the name. These blades are typically curved and closely spaced to create overlapping mixing zones. The mixer is usually operated in a batch process, where the materials are loaded into a mixing chamber, and the blades rotate to mix and knead the contents thoroughly.
The main purpose of a sigma mixer is to blend and homogenize materials, ensuring uniform distribution of ingredients and achieving desired product consistency. It is especially effective in processing sticky, viscous, or dough-like materials that require intense mixing action and sufficient energy input.
The construction of a sigma mixer is robust and durable, typically made of stainless steel, with a jacketed mixing chamber for temperature control during processing. Some advanced models may include features like vacuum or pressure capabilities, heating/cooling systems, and automated controls for precise operation.
Sigma mixers are commonly used in applications such as mixing rubber compounds, adhesives, dough, confectionery fillings, ceramics, plastics, and various chemical formulations. They offer advantages like high efficiency, thorough mixing, easy cleaning, and the ability to handle materials with varying viscosities.
