Battaggion S.p.A.

Battaggion kneaders with fixed tank continue to be a particularly valid solution in some industrial production processes.

In particular, when the final product can be compared to a low viscous liquid, the solution of fixed tank with discharge valves can fully cover the need of mechanical torque and power during the most stressing phases of the mixing process, allowing a final discharge through the bottom valves directly positioned inside the two cradles of the tank.

This solution grants the possibility to install this kind of equipment into completely automatic lines by means of the use of automatic feeding and dosing systems and with the discharge valves coupled with proper pumps for the transport of the material to the subsequent production phases.

Through the action of the sigma blades and of the masticator blades, the hard and tough materials are mixed and worked so to lower their viscosity to the final values.

For example, in alternative to the vertical mixers, the fixed tank kneaders can be used for the rubber dissolution with solvent, in case the product quality has to reach very high standard.

The possibility of thermally condition the whole machine, make fixed tank kneaders able to realize many different processes in which can take place chemical reactions or simple mixing so to obtain exactly the same characteristics of final compound in all the different points of the processed material. Thanks to these features the obtained product is sent to the subsequent phase of production.

The MVO mixer is the most used solution in the homogenizing of the different powder and granule materials.

These kind of plants are used in the most various application whereas the product is not representing fragility to the fast action of the internal ploughs. In case the product presents these problems another solution would be to use our ribbon blenders, model ME.

The high speed mixer use allow, aside from the perfect homogenizing of the different powder and granule products, the possibility to add small and big quantities of liquids to be incorporated inside the processed product.

Through the action of some sprayers, positioned in the upper part of the mixing chamber in fact the liquid products can be nebulized inside the mixed mass, granting an homogeneous distribution inside the whole product.

Furthermore these sprayers can be positioned opposite to the choppers that avoid the creation of lumps and small masses due to a higher percentage of dispersed liquid.

The IPMR mixer is one the most important product in the innovation process that Battaggion carries on for the most hard and tenacious materials.

The model IPMR with tilting tank, as well as the model IPMC with screw discharge ca be widely used in the compound processes of all the different types of rubber, plastic materials, composite materials and ceramics.

In the field of rubber these kneaders can be also used for the dilution of highly filled masses, starting from a very tough base and reaching a final product near similar to a liquid.

The main characteristics of the IPMR mixer with tilting tank are:

Motorization group widely dimensioned so to have the possibility to mix the most hard and tenacious pastes
The mixing system, composed by tank and mixing blades, it is manufactured in special material and polished till the higher needs; the masticator blades are usually hardened by means of a stellite layer, both on the edges and on the peak of the mixing tank, so to increase their wear resistance to the abrasion.
Pressing ram cover with pneumatic/hydraulic control, so to obtain an homogeneous pressure onto the product
Tilting tank system, so to easily discharge the compounded as well as for an easy cleaning of the entire system.
 

The kneader with pressing ram can be coupled to other machines from our portfolio (ex. Twin screw extruder, our model TCS, or gear pump, our model GEP) in order to realize a complete line for the compounding and the filtration or rubber products.

The big advantage of our solution is related to the flexibility and the cleaning possibility of the mixing tank that allow to completely change the kind of production in an easier and faster way in comparison to the standard compounding solutions.
