Roller mixing

As established in [214], in roller-mixed PVC-based composites one observes a much better uniformity of filler distribution over the matrix volume the relative viscosity is thereby considerably reduced. That is, for a fixed filler content, the viscosity of a system with agglomerates is always higher than that of the well-dispersed sample. 

The mixing of the masticated rubber with the chemicals is done in the same two-roller mixing mill. The following things should be considered in the mixing process sequence of addition of chemicals, the nip adjustment between the rolls, the differential temperature... 

Blends of PLA with lauric acid, in amoimts of 2% and 5% are prepared by first dry blending the solid materials and then solution blending with 90% chloroform the materials by roller mixing. 

The test involves roller mixing aqueous solutions of eandidate inhibitors with a fixed quantity of 2-4 mm clay particles for 16 h at 20 C. At the end of the test the solutions are passed through a... 

The heavy, wide roller rides over the material. There is some skidding action where the rollers engage the mass of materials. This gives local shearing plus coarse-scale mixing which is aided by the plows and scrapers. 

This is a material produced from the impregnation of glass fibre-mat (fibreglass, which is in the form of dry sheet, is commonly known as chopped stranded mat (CSM)) or rovings, with a liquid and unsaturated polyester resin, which thickens chemically to a dry sheet form. The total mix is sandwiched between polyethylene films and then roller-pressed to impregnate and consolidate it.

In a sugar mill, sugar cane is shredded, mixed with water and crushed between rollers. The resulting juice contains 7-11% sucrose, C12H22On. As-... 

All AB, alloys are very brittle and are pulverized to fine particles in the hydrid-ing-dehydriding process (see Sec. 7.2.1). Thus electrodes must be designed to accommodate fine powders as the active material. There are several methods of electrode fabrication Sakai et al [35] pulverize the alloy by subjecting it to several hydrogen absorption-desorption cycles, before coating the resulting particles with Ni by chemical plating. The powder is mixed with a Teflon dispersion to obtain a paste which is finally roller-pressed to a sheet and then hot-pressed to an expanded nickel mesh. The fabrication of a simple paste electrode suitable for laboratory studies is reported by Petrov et al. [37],... 

The final quality and reproducibility of rubber compounds mixed from scratch on a two-roll mill, or finalisation of compound batches mixed in an internal mixer, depend to a large degree on the skill of the mill operative. In order to overcome to some extent the reliance on operative skill and to ensure reproducible mix quality many mills are now fitted with stock blender units. These consist of a driven twin roller system, of similar overall length to the mill rolls, fitted above the mill frame. 

The Method. In domestic production the dough is mixed by hand. In a small commercial bakery the dough might be mixed in a low speed mixer and sheeted out using a mechanised sheeting roller, i.e. akin to a pastry brake. 

The mixing of the sample and reagents in predetermined proportions rather than specific volumes is a fundamental principle of continuous flow analysis and is achieved by using a constant-speed roller bar peristaltic pump and flexible plastic delivery tubes of different internal diameters. These pump tubes are stretched between two plastic end-blocks, which hold them taut between a... 

The processes used to produce the individual tire components usually involve similar steps. First, the raw stock is heated and subjected to a final mixing stage before going to a roller mill. The material is then peeled off rollers and continuously extruded into the final component shape. Tire beads are directly extruded onto the reinforcing wire used for the seal, and tire belt is produced by calendering rubber sheet onto the belt fabric. 

This involves weighing moulding compounds for manufacturing the insole. The moulding compounds are mixed and rolled by means of a roller to form a sheet material, which is then cut into elongated strips. A predetermined amount of the strips are placed into a first mould unit, which is heated and pressurised to form a partially foamed insole. The partially foamed insole is placed into a second mould unit, which is heated, pressurised and cooled to form a completely foamed insole, which is then trimmed.
