Kneading Elements
Precision-Engineered Kneading Elements for Superior Material Dispersion
As a premier kneading element manufacturer and supplier based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, Unity Engineering Works delivers high-performance kneading elements vital for effective material processing in twin screw extruders. Our precisely engineered kneading elements are designed to achieve superior dispersion, mixing, and homogenization for various polymers and compounds
Kneading elements are crucial components within the barrel of a twin screw extruder, specifically designed to impart intensive shear and elongational forces on the material. This action is essential for achieving excellent dispersion of fillers, pigments, and additives, as well as for melt homogenization and devolatilization. Our kneading elements ensure optimal material treatment, leading to high-quality end products.
Types of Kneading Elements We Manufacture
GEAR MIXER, TYPE ZME
Gear mixers are created from a single lobed intermeshing screw problem with recerse design by introducing grooves in the conveying direction of the pitch. This produces a filled up element which mixes intensively distributive.
SCREW MIXING ELEMENT SME
The screw mixing element is a two- lobed standard profble screw with reverse-conveying milled recesses in gear format. This element allows for gentle distributive mixing. Very well suited for products that do not tend to form deposits.
" IGEL" ELEMENT
The “IGEL” element is created from a right-handed and left-handed screw cutting above each other. Mixed dia- mond-shaped spikes are the result. It behaves neutral in regard to conv- eying and is used for distributive mixing. The “IGEL” element is a specialized mixing component in extrusion systems, featuring spiked or toothed geometry .
KNEADING BLOCK, NEUTRAL
Standard kneading block in bi-lobed design with tightly inter-meshing profile. The discs are offset by 90 degree so that this kneading block exhibits conveying neutral behavior In a sequence of neutral kneading blocks the degree of falling can thus be influenced well through the process conditions.
SHOULDER KNEADING BLOCK KBS
The shoulder kneading block, type KBS, is a proprietary development from CPM Extrusion Group and has proven beneficial as a standard element in many applications. Through a reduction of the width of the disc in favor of wider overflow areas shearing peaks are reduced and more homogeneous melting results are produced.
KNEADING BLOCK, REVERSE
Reverse kneading blocks create pressure in order to cause a backup before the element. These kneading blocks lead to a high energy introduction. They are usually designed at lengths smaller than the diameter to prevent the pressure peaks and shear strain in the material from becoming too large.
KNEADING BLOCK CONVEYING
The standard kneading block with conveying design can be constructed both with narrow and relatively wide discs. It exhibits a certain conveying capacity and is partially folled without upstream Flow restriction element. The preferred offset angle is 45 degree; however, versions with 30 or 60 degree.
ECCENTRIC KNEADING BLOCK
In extruders with the currently popular outside to inside diameter ratios three lobed kneading blocks are only possible with a special prafble. High performance extruders often provide very high driving power. In addition, the eccentric kneading block KBX provides very high melting capacity through high energy input at favorable geometric conditions.
