Screw mixing and kneading machine has mixing and kneading discs behind each other on two or more shafts and offset at angles which ensures two pairs of discs engage at the same position

摘要

Each barrel bore(6,6') houses a screw shaft(8,8'), each of which carries intermeshing mixing and kneading discs. Each disc has at least one flight land(25,25', 26,26') and at least one flank(27,27',28,28'). Discs are located immediately behind one another along the screw shafts and each successive disc flight land is offset from the previous one by an angle(c,d,e,f ; c'd',e',f'), a multiple of which does not equal 360[deg]. No two pairs of discs therefore engage in the same angular position. Each barrel bore(6,6') houses a screw shaft(8,8'), each of which carries intermeshing mixing and kneading discs. Each disc has at least one flight land(25,25', 26,26') and at least one flank(27,27',28,28'). Discs are located immediately behind one another along the screw shafts and each successive disc flight land is offset from the previous one by an angle(c,d,e,f ; c'd',e',f'), a multiple of which does not equal 360[deg]. No two pairs of discs therefore engage in the same angular position. Angular offsetting of the mixing and kneading discs(13-17;13'-17') behind one another is such that the discs are not congruent. The discs form n channels where n is 1-4 and preferably 2. Several discs form a single mixing and kneading block(18,18'). Blocks are connected by teeth(37) with the screw shafts(8,8') and adjacent teeth form a dividing angle(g). The sum of the flight land offset angles(c+d+e+f; c'+d'+e'+f') of the discs of a kneading block is a whole number multiple of the dividing angle. Both screw shafts rotate in the same direction.
