Reciprocating kneader

It is usually done by computer controlled electronic weighing scales that supply precise amounts of each ingredient to a high intensity mixer. The still-dry, free-flowing blend is then charged to a feed hopper where it is screw fed into a continuous mixer such as an extruder and/or kneader. Under the action of a mixer s reciprocating screw in the confined volume of the mixer chamber, the blend begins to flux or masticate into the required plastic state. 

Table VIII, which is a combination of two of Smith s tables, shows the necessity for choosing the proper mixer for the particular soil to be mixed for example, although the two-arm kneader and muller mixed very well with sand, they did not do well with the Marshall clay. The reciprocating conveyor, however, while it did not mix sand too well, did the best job on Marshall clay.
