In industrial processes involving extremely viscous or non-flowing products, simple mixing may not be sufficient. When the process requires both intensive kneading and shaping by extrusion, the Z-arm mixer-extruder is the leading technological solution.
This type of equipment, developed specifically by RMC Marc Guittard, combines high-performance mixing with controlled extrusion, whilst ensuring optimum product quality.
The RMC Marc Guittard Z-arm mixer-extruder, also known as the Sigma Mixer Extruder or Sigma Kneader Extruder, is designed to meet these extreme demands by ensuring homogeneous, reproducible and controlled mixing.
The mixer-extruder combines two fundamental operations:
This combination enables:
A Z-arm mixer-extruder is made of:
1
Feeding of components (liquids, powders, fillers)
Manual or automated loading depending on the process
2
The Z-arms perform optimised kneading:
This phase enables:
3
As the cycle progresses:
4
The material is then:
This enables:
High homogeneity
Repeatability of the mixing process
Non-flowing pastes
Viscoelastic materials
Essential for:
Reinforced transmission
