Static Mixers used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers and foods in extrusion service.
Common Applications
Static Mixers are used in most extrusion applications including the following:
- Sheet
- Blown Film
- Foam sheet
- Profile extrusion
- Co-extrusion
- Pipe
- Extrusion Blow Molding
- Rod & Tubing
- Wire & Cable
- Coatings
- Cereals and other foods
- Fiber extrusion & monofilaments
Advantages
- Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density.
- Even thickness across the entire extrudate width.
- Streak-free product.
- Improved quality when using regrind material.
- Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity.
- Improved surface quality
- Improved mechanical characteristics.
- Rapid color change-over
