Sigma Kneader Mixers for the Chemical Industry

Mixing Solutions for High- and Very-High-Viscosity Chemical Formulations

 

The chemical industry develops a wide variety of formulations for the construction, automotive, energy, materials, packaging, manufacturing, and consumer goods sectors. Resins, adhesives, sealants, plastisol, paints, inks, and sealants have complex rheological characteristics that require precise control of mixing processes.

RMC Marc Guittard supports chemical manufacturers in the design, manufacture, and optimization of Sigma kneader mixers for high- and very-high-viscosity products. Drawing on its expertise in mixing processes, the company develops customized solutions that ensure perfect homogeneity, optimal dispersion of fillers, and excellent reproducibility of formulations—from the development phase through to industrial production.

A recognized expertise in chemical formulation processes

Chemical formulations often combine resins, polymers, mineral fillers, pigments, solvents, fibres, or technical additives. The choice of a mixer depends on numerous parameters that directly influence process performance and the quality of the finished product.

Each project is evaluated taking into account:

  • the viscosity and density of the formulations,
  • the dispersion of mineral fillers and pigments,
  • the incorporation of powders and fibres,
  • the desired shear level,
  • temperature control,
  • vacuum operation,
  • ATEX requirements,
  • the chemical compatibility of construction materials,
  • production and maintenance objectives.

 

This approach enables the design of equipment that is perfectly suited to the requirements of each industrial process.

 

Solutions suitable for a wide variety of applications

Resins and formulation materials

RMC Marc Guittard Sigma Kneader Mixers are particularly well-suited for mixing highly viscous formulations used in the manufacture of:

  • resins,

Industrial Chemistry and Technical Products

 

RMC’s solutions also meet the manufacturing requirements for numerous formulations intended for the process industries, including:

  • agrochemicals,
  • fuels,
  • specific technical formulations.

 

Each project undergoes a customized study to ensure a perfect match between the manufacturing process and the expected performance.

Equipment designed for the most demanding chemical processes

The mixers developed by RMC Marc Guittard are configured according to the specific characteristics of each formulation.

The equipment is designed based on:

  • the viscosity and rheological properties of the products,
  • the nature of the components,
  • the chemical constraints of the formulations,
  • operating temperatures,
  • heating or cooling requirements,
  • vacuum operation,
  • ATEX requirements,
  • construction materials compatible with chemical environments,
  • cleaning, maintenance, and safety requirements.

This approach ensures that the equipment is robust, high-performing, and perfectly suited to the most complex industrial processes.
