THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE INNER MIXER ARE ITS ROTORS.

KOBELCO is at the forefront of innovative rotor design. Our research and development engineers continue to design, evaluate and test various cross profiles and wing configurations. This ongoing commitment to research and development has resulted in the highest performance rotors available.

5THR hybrid tangential rotor

Tangential rotor developed and patented as a hybrid, with tangential and interconnected rotor characteristics. This development has resulted in a high performance mixing system for high hardness and/or corrosive compounds, providing better mixing quality / higher productivity / better distribution and same energy input compared to Interconnected mixers. As detailed below:

Designed for better and greater control of shear and mixing;
Mixing silica with coupling agent is one of the best applications;
Kobelco 3.0 high cooling system applied, best cooling system on the market;
5THR provides entanglement mixing technology with tangential mixers;
5THR is interchangeable with 4 or 6 wing Kobelco rotors;
Uniform Velocity / Uniform Friction Ratio of Compounds;

Interconnected rotor

High yield and mixing efficiency;
Good material extraction ability;
Excellent dispersion of ingredients;
Excellent for silica blends;
Uniform speed;
Requires approx. 25% more drive power than 2-wing rotors;

4-Wing N Tangential Rotor

Prevents excessive temperature build-up during mixing;
Better batch temperature uniformity;
Exceptional for “final mix”;
Excellent for silica blends;
Rubber flow is more aggressive than other 4-wing rotors;
Thinner profile increases production/yield;
Reduced energy consumption;
Uniform Velocity / Uniform Friction Ratio of Compounds
Requires approx. 25% more drive power than 2-wing rotors.

Tangential Rotor VCMT 6 Wings

High yield and mixing efficiency;
Shorter mixing times;
Varying wing tip for chamber side clearances;
Varying the width of the wing tip;
Excellent dispersion of ingredients;
Excelente para misturas de sílica;
O aumento do movimento do material melhora a homogeneidade;
Uniform Velocity / Uniform Friction Ratio of Compounds;
Requires approx. 25% more drive power than 2-wing rotors.

4-Wing Tangential H Rotor

High yield and mixing efficiency;
High long-to-short wing ratio;
Excellent dispersion of ingredients;
Fluxo de material suave dentro da câmara;
Uniform Velocity / Uniform Friction Ratio of Compounds.
Requires approx. 25% more drive power than 2-wing rotors.

2-Wing Tangential S Rotor

General purpose;
Temperature sensitive mixture;
Low energy consumption;
Good dispersion;
Uniform Velocity / Uniform Friction Ratio of Compounds.
