Horizontal kneader are able to process mixtures with very high viscosities. The distinctive feature of these kneading machines lies in their kneading elements, which enable them to be adapted to a broad spectrum of applications: from the production of low viscosity adhesives [hot melts] to extremely high viscosity rubber mixtures. IKA India Private Limited manufactures Horizontal kneader.
IKA India Private Limited offers a wide range of laboratory equipments, process technology and analytical equipments for mixing, heating, distilling and crushing applications. Horizontal kneader have double-jacketed bowls for heating/cooling. The machine comes in two different series, HKD and HKS. The excellent kneading and dispersion achieved with the high performance HKD kneading machine is based on the principle of intermeshing DUPLEX kneading blades, which have a reciprocal stripping action. The HKS is a kneading machine with horizontally arranged, Z-shaped kneading blades. In the case of the HKS, the distance between the shafts of the kneading blades is greater than the external diameter of the blades. A particular feature of IKA horizontal kneading machines is the option to remove the complete side wall of the kneading bowl either hydraulically or manually on two turns of the bowl. This enables easy cleaning of the kneading blades and discharge screw in the case of a product change.
The applications of Horizontal kneader are:
