Single Rotor Continuous Mixing Systems

THE SINGLE-ROTOR CONTINUOUS MIXING SYSTEM (CARTER CONTINUOUS COMPOUNDER CAROUSEL BLENDER)... 

Continnons mixing holds ont the promise of efficient and consistent mbber processing. In this article, a new powder blender and a continuous mixer are described, followed by a presentation of results from a prototype system. A layout of the system, equipped with a roller die output device is shown. Two dissimilar compounds, SBRandEPDM, were selected for initial evaluation of the single rotor continuous mixer (SRM). The purpose of the SBR compoimd was to...
