Application Of Sigma Mixer In Silicone Resin Production Line | JCT Machinery

October 20, 2025
Why is sigma mixer used in silicone resin production?
  • 1. Difficulty in stirring during the high-viscosity stage

  • During the middle and late stages of the silicone resin polycondensation reaction, the system viscosity can exceed 1,000,000cps, making the reactor's agitator impeding the material.

  • 2. Strong shear and stirring are required

  • Sigma mixer's double ∑-shaped blades provide strong shear and squeezing forces, ensuring uniform heating and reaction of high-viscosity silicone resins.

  • 3. Facilitates vacuum dehydration and complete polycondensation

  • Simga mixer, equipped with a vacuum system, efficiently removes water at low temperatures, promoting complete polycondensation and improving resin purity adn stability.

  • 4. Combines mixing and concentration

  • Many silicone resin formulas require concentration or the addition of fillers (such as silica or alumina powder) in the later stages. Sigma mixer can accomplish this in one machine.

Key Advantages of Using Sigma Mixer
1. Powerful mixing: Capable of processing high-viscosity or semi-solid materials.
2. More complete reaction in a vacuum environment: Avoids oxidation, improving resin purity.
3. Continuous or intermittent operation: Suitable for multi-specification and small-batch production.
4. Reduced material residue: The optimized kneading blade design allows for easy cleaning.
5. Long equipment life: The blades and inner wall can be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials (such as SS304/316).


Why not use reactor to produce silicone resin?
Silicone resin is a class of polymer compounds with a silicon-oxygen bond (Si-O-Si) as its primary chain structure. The production process typically involves the following stages:
1. Polycondensation (dealcoholization or dehydration)
2. Rapid viscosity increase in the middle and late stages
3. Vacuum concentration or filler modification may be required

In the early stages of the reaction, the material is a low-viscosity liquid that can be stirred in the reactor.
However, as the reaction proceeds, the system transforms from a liquid to a paste or even a semi-solid-at which point the paddles of a conventional reactor are no longer able to effectively stir the material.
