Hybrid Rotor Mixing Machines

Speed of ram descent after feed Relatively fast Depends on rotor shape, but generally slow(er) 

Time for ram to bottom 30-50% into cycle 50-100% into cycle, depending on rotor shape 

Power peak occurs Earlier in cycle Later in cycle 

Material motion around chamber Towards centre, with greater distributional flow with more recent rotor designs Each rotor carries material towards opposite chamber end, resulting in excellent distributional flow 

Mix temperature control Poorer - lower surfaceA olume ratio in mixing chamber Better - higher siufaceA oliune ratio in mixing chamber
