The typical speed of the central screw is 70 to 80 Rpm. The Tip speed can fluctuate from 1 to 3 m/s. The result is most intimate intermingling of all ingredients. The mixing time is depending on product characteristics, mixing accuracy and batch size | The typical speed of the central screw is 70 to 80 Rpm. The Tip speed can fluctuate from 1 to 3 m/s.
