Kneading Machine

To describe the procedure for validation of the kneading machine to ensure product homogenization and that equipment meets installation, operational, and performance qualifications 

It is the responsibility of the validation manager, quality control manger and concerned departmental managers to follow the procedure. The quality assurance manager is responsible for SOP compliance. 

Eill the granulating chamber with preweighed quantities of water. 

The available net capacity should be equal to the manufacturer specification. 

Determine the velocity of the granulating device with an empty and a loaded granulator.

Macaroni Press. A hydraulic press with a perforated false bottom. A so-called preliminary block is placed between the piston of the press and the bottom. This block consists of NC, previously colloided in a kneading machine with solvents such as eth-alc, acet, etc, blended with other ingredients such as dipHenylamine,...

Stettbacher(Ref 61) reported that the compn prepn of Swiss NC proplnts were similar to Fr Poudre B. They differed only in form and size of grains. These proplnts were prepd by mixing in a "Knettmachine (kneading machine), and in the presence of eth-alc, 80 Guncotton(13 13,4%N) and 20% Collodion Cotton (11.7-12.2%N) to which was added 1-1.5%...

The method is based on the premise that all interstices, known as void volumes, in the carbon black aggregates are filled with DBP. The surface of the carbon black is considered to be wetted and this new surface state is translated into a change in the torque required for the kneading machine. The DBP requirement thus allows conclusions on the degree of aggregation of individual carbon blacks. The rule the greater the DBP absorption, measured in ml g , the higher the carbon black structure. 

The first operation of chocolate processing is to homogenize the cocoa mass, ground sugar, milk powder and part of the cocoa butter in a mixer which can be a kneading machine with a Z-shape mixing arm or a continuous screw mixer. 

KNEADERS, DISPERSERS, AND MASTICATORS. Kneading is a method of mixing used with deformable or plastic solids. It involves squashing the mass flat, folding it over on itself, and squashing it once more. Most kneading machines also tear...
