Continuous Kneader

Continuous Kneader is the unique technology extruder range that builds on the proven Umang technology and its benefits. the machine has rotating sigma blades above and a screw cone extruder below, the blades and screw are carefully coordinated so that process and validation wise there is no difference to the extrusion process from machine to machine. This unique design of the Continuous Kneader, screw and meshes makes the not only a perfect wet granulator but also an ideal machine for very difficult products with solvent as a integral part of the formulation, these machines are used majorly where where is not much time between the mixed powder which may be dried due to high alcohol content in the mixture, it needed immediate or very fast extrusion, the machine is ideal for such applications.

The outstanding feature of the Continuous Kneader / mixer cum extruder or sigma Continuous Kneader range is the integrated and CIP optimized design. Connections, cabling and supplies are completely integrated, covered and sealed so the outside of the machine is smooth and very easy to clean. The innovative discharge blade design and optimized seals inside the extrusion assembly allow for CIP. As a result of this the our Continuous Kneader is highly flexible, quick product changeover increases productivity and cost effectiveness.

The Continuous Kneader ranges from 5 to 500 Kgs/ batch, the design operation with platform and dust-free discharging via a linked mill directly into an IBC. The Continuous Kneader can be stand-alone or linked to a spheroinizer or a Fluid Bed Wurster or fluid bed dryer to form an integrated system.

Standard Features for Continuous Kneader :

Standard meshes from 500 - 1500 mcrons.

Twin counter rotating mixing Blades and cams rotating in counter directions : perfect seals in direct contact with the product on both ends of the blade.

Perfect cGMP-design: smooth covering, no external tubing and piping allowing easy cleaning.

Screw for extrusion of the material out to a spheroinizer or a fluid bed dryer bowl.

Variable perforation meshes ideal for perfect discharge of difficult products

User-friendly operator-machine interaction via graphical operator panel 12" Industrial PC software with PROCESS + range of software which helps interlinking all plant equipments to a single system.

Flexibility (processes and products) for wet granulation.

Optional Features for Continuous Kneader :

Explosion proof design

Automatic cleaning (WIP/CIP) of entire system

21 CFR part 11 certified controls.
