According to the construction of the kneader impeller, there are mainly four types, with corresponding applications as follows:
The fish-tail type agitator blade is suitable for kneading cellulose materials.
The Z-shaped agitator blade, also known as the simplified agitator blade, has a streamlined design and is used for blending pigments in resins under high viscosity conditions.
3. The cutting-type stirrer is a robust stirrer suitable for kneading ultra-high viscosity materials under high-power and heavy-load conditions. The majority of applications use a two-blade tangent arrangement when employing the cutting-type stirrer. Suitable materials include rubber, iron oxide, magnetic recording materials, etc.
The sigma-type agitator blade is a standard design, suitable for kneading operations where there is a need for significant movement of the material in the mixer, particularly in the case of double-blade stacking arrangements, especially during extrusion and dewatering processes. It is ideal for applications such as chewing gum, silicone, printing inks, chocolate, carbon materials, and more.
