The lab model Double Sigma Blade batch systems provide complete, homogeneous mixing, even in small quantities.

 

The mixing action is a combination of bulk movement, shearing, stretching, folding, dividing, and recombining as the material is pulled and squeezed against blades, saddle, and side walls. Continually new layers of material are compressed and folded over one another and are subjected to shearing forces.

Working Principle of Sigma Mixer

In Sigma mixer tangential action of mixing and kneading obtained by ‘Z’ type (SIGMA) shaped kneading blades, which rotates very accurately at different speed towards each other causing product to be transferred from one end to another end. Discharge of the finished product is achieved by tilting the container or through the valves at the bottom or by means of an extrusion screw beside the container.

The mixing action is a combination of bulk movement, stretching, folding, dividing, and recombining of the material. The shearing & tearing action of the material against blades and the side walls causes size reduction of the solids. After the time period required for sterilizing the batch has elapsed, the heating circuit shuts of the pneumatics damper (exhaust) opens and cooling operation commences.

In the tangential design, the blades rotate in the trough meeting tangentially. The front blade generally rotates faster than the rear blade usually in the ratio of 3:2. Tangential blades are generally used for material of higher viscosities such as adhesives, rubber compounds, flush colors, dyes, and pigments.

In the overlapping design, the blades overlap above the saddle of the container. Due to the overlapping action, it is necessary that the relative position of the two blades is unchanged, and as a result, both the blades rotate at the same speed. Materials that flow freely or creep down into the blades are mixed using the overlapping blade action. This design offers a faster interchange of material from one blade compartment of the mixer to the other. Overlapping blade action is used for materials of lighter viscosities such as carbon pastes, clay coating, creams, and ointments. The overlapping blade produces a lower kneading and shearing compared to the tangential blade action

Production of Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Production of Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

Hot Melt Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (HMPSAs) are composed of Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC), tackifier, mineral oil, a small amount of antioxidant, and other special additives – such as filler, colorant, and low molecular weight polymer if needed. Most of these ingredients are thermoplastic materials and require a heated environment to mix them together.

Many different types of mixers are available for mixing HMPSAs. Following are two commonly used techniques.

Vertical Reactor mixer. Use of Vertical Reactor is the most economic technique for making HMPSAs. Low molecular weight ingredients, oil and/or tackifiers, must be charged first for this type of mixer. Otherwise, the high torque generated from SBC may damage agitators. Commonly used charging sequence is as follows: 1) mineral oil and antioxidant, 2) tackifiers, and 3) SBC. A good vertical mixer should provide the following features: 1) excellent jacketed hot oil circulation to provide quick heat exchange, 2) adequate agitating configuration to reduce mixing time, 3) scrappers to remove adhesives off the wall and bottom of mixing vessel. This will improve heat exchange and minimize char formation, 4) vacuuming system to avoid oxidation during mixing.

Horizontal Sigma mixer (Sigma blade mixer or Kneader). This type of mixer is normally accompanied with an extruder for easy adhesive discharging purpose, named mix-truder. The mixing sequence of a horizontal mixer is just opposite to that of a vertical one. Generally, the sequence is as follow: 1) SBC plus antioxidant, 2) tackifiers, and 3) mineral oil. It is more efficient to produce a batch of HMPSA with a horizontal mixer versus a vertical one due to its faster heat exchange and higher shearing torque. Additionally, a horizontal mixer can handle more viscous materials with its heavy duty rotor. It is important to point out that tackifiers must be added slowly, portion by portion, after the SBC is fully masticated. Otherwise, the molten tackifier will function like a lubricant to the SBC. This will greatly reduce the shearing efficiency of rotor and result in a poor mixing. Since, the mixing sequence starts with SBC, if the mixing chamber is not under a vacuum environment, the SBC tends to oxidize with surrounded air or oxygen disregarding the addition of antioxidant.

In summary, the vertical mixers offer the following two advantages:

The system is much easier to pull vacuum during mixing. HMPSAs made by this technique normally offer better aging performances compared to those made with a horizontal mixer.
The material charging sequence is more flexible. There is no need for a skillful labor working on a vertical mixer.

The disadvantages of vertical mixers are:

It is somewhat difficult to produce very high viscosity products due to its lower shearing torque.
The heat exchange is somewhat slow. The total mixing time is therefore longer than those made with horizontal mixers.

Sigma blade mixer is a kind of mixer which is specialized in using mixing high viscous material .

sigma blade mixer advantages

Sigma blade mixer is used for chewing gum, bubble gum, toothpaste, plastic, rubber, silicone rubber, dyes, pigments, inks, food base, pharmaceuticals, architectural coatings, carbon, fiber, high viscosity sealant, neutral glass glue, aluminum silver Pulp, silica gel, pulp, cellulose, battery paste, dyes, silicone resins, cosmetics and other industries.

The sigma mixer machine is a special mixing and mixing device. The most common one is to use two squeegee blades, which are arranged in a side-by-side differential speed type, that is, the speed of one stirring paddle is fast, and the speed of one stirring paddle is slow, so as to produce high Shear force, different paddle speeds enable the material to be quickly sheared so that the material can be totally mixed
