Sigma Mixer Details | JCT Machinery

1. Frame

The frame is the framework that supports the entire sigma mixer, usually made of steel, to ensure the stability and durability of sigma mixer.

2. Mixing Cylinder

The mixing cylinder is an important part of sigma mixer, usually in a "W" shape with a smooth inner wall to reduce material adhesion. There are two relatively rotating blades in the tank for mixing materials.

3. Sigma Blades

The uniqueness of sigma mixer is that it has two ∑-shaped blades that rotate in opposite directions. The design of sigma blades allows the materials to be pushed alternately in the mixing cylinder, generating strong shear forces, thereby achieving efficient mixing.

4. Motor and Reducer

Drive system, including the motor and reducer, transmits power to the blades through the transmission device to rotate them. The reducer can adjust the speed of sigma blades to meet the mixing requirements of materials with different viscosities.

5. Feed Port and Discharge Port

The feed port is used to add raw materials to the mixing cylinder, and the discharge port is used to discharge the mixed materials. The feed port of sigma mixer is generally provided with a batching device or a valve, and the discharge port can be equipped with a rotary valve or a screw conveyor.

6. Heating or Cooling System

Sigma mixer can be equipped with heating or cooling device, usually through the jacket structure to heat or cool the material to meet the special temperature requirements. This system helps to control the reaction or mixing effect of the material, especially in high viacosity, heat-sensitive materials.
