Working Principle of PerMix Sigma Mixers & Sigma Mixer Extruders

At PerMix, our Sigma Mixers and Sigma Mixer Extruders are engineered to deliver exceptional mixing, kneading, and extrusion performance, making them the preferred choice for processing high-viscosity materials. Designed for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, adhesives, sealants, rubber, and specialty chemicals, these mixers offer unmatched precision, efficiency, and reliability.

With customizable features, including vacuum integration, heating & cooling jackets, explosion-proof construction, and abrasion-resistant materials, PerMix Sigma Mixers set a new industry standard for high-performance processing solutions.


🔹 How a PerMix Sigma Mixer Works

The Sigma Mixer is a specialized high-viscosity batch mixer that utilizes two Z-shaped blades rotating inside a horizontal mixing chamber. These counter-rotating blades create an intense kneading and shearing action, ensuring uniform blending of even the most challenging materials.

1️⃣ Shearing & Kneading Action for Optimal Mixing

🔹 The Z-shaped blades rotate at different speeds, creating a high-shear zone where materials are stretched, folded, and compressed.
🔹 This powerful kneading motion evenly distributes ingredients, ensuring homogeneity for high-viscosity pastes, rubber compounds, and polymer-based materials.

2️⃣ Adjustable Speed & Precision Mixing Control

🔹 The blade speed and direction can be fine-tuned based on the specific rheology of the material being processed.
🔹 Variable-speed motors allow gentle mixing for sensitive materials or high-intensity kneading for thick, heavy compositions.

3️⃣ Vacuum Capability for Air-Free Processing

🔹 When equipped with a vacuum system, the mixer removes trapped air, eliminating voids and bubbles in pharmaceutical creams, food pastes, adhesives, and polymer compounds.
🔹 Vacuum mixing also enhances product consistency, adhesion strength, and overall material quality.

4️⃣ Temperature Control with Heating & Cooling Jackets

🔹 The mixing chamber can be equipped with heating or cooling jackets for precise temperature regulation.
🔹 Applications include:
Polymerization & Vulcanization – Controlling heat during polymer formation.
Food & Pharmaceutical Processing – Preventing overheating of heat-sensitive ingredients.
Solvent Recovery & Evaporation – Assisting in moisture and solvent removal.

Ideal for: Adhesives, rubber, silicone pastes, chemical reactions, and dough-based materials.


🔹 How a PerMix Sigma Mixer Extruder Works

The Sigma Mixer Extruder integrates the kneading and blending power of a Sigma Mixer with an extrusion system, allowing for continuous material processing and direct discharge. This dual-function system eliminates manual handling, enhances process efficiency, and improves final product consistency.

1️⃣ Mixing & Kneading Process

🔹 The mixing chamber functions identically to a standard Sigma Mixer, ensuring thorough kneading and material uniformity.

2️⃣ Integrated Extrusion for Streamlined Processing

🔹 After mixing, the material is pushed towards an extrusion screw or die, where it is shaped, compacted, or transferred to the next stage of production.
🔹 The extrusion system applies controlled pressure, ensuring consistent discharge, reduced handling, and optimized output.

3️⃣ Precision & Efficiency in Every Batch

🔹 The automated extrusion system ensures uniformity in product shape, density, and texture.
🔹 Customizable die plates allow manufacturers to tailor product dimensions and forms.

Ideal for: High-viscosity materials such as sealants, putties, rubber compounds, polymer-based adhesives, and specialty resins.

PerMix ships sigma mixers fully assembled, ensuring that blades, troughs, and mechanical components are pre-fitted for seamless integration.

🔹 Double-Check Blade Alignment: Ensure that the Z-shaped blades are correctly positioned and rotate freely.
🔹 Inspect Scrapers & Edge Seals: Verify that material clearance is optimized for thorough mixing.

No further mechanical assembly is required—your mixer arrives ready for operation!


7️⃣ Sealing & Lubrication for Smooth Operation

Proper sealing and lubrication prevent leaks, wear, and premature component failure.

🔹 Check Shaft Seals: Ensure that all sealing components are tight and properly seated.
🔹 Lubricate Bearings & Moving Parts: Use manufacturer-recommended lubricants to reduce friction.
🔹 Inspect Safety Seals for Vacuum Models: If operating a vacuum sigma mixer, verify airtight seals to prevent leaks.

Regular lubrication extends the lifespan of critical moving parts.


8️⃣ Electrical Connections & Safety Testing

Proper electrical connections ensure safe operation and compliance with industry standards.

🔹 Follow the Manufacturer’s Wiring Diagram: Connect power, control panels, and safety interlocks.
🔹 Double-Check Grounding & Circuit Protection: Reduces electrical hazards and surge damage.
🔹 Test Emergency Stops & Overload Protection: Ensure that all safety systems function properly before startup.

For explosion-proof (EXP/ATEX) models, use certified electrical enclosures and connections.


9️⃣ Perform a Test Batch Before Full-Scale Production

A test batch ensures that your sigma mixer is operating correctly before production.

🔹 Run the Mixer Without Load: Verify blade rotation, speed, and direction.
🔹 Test a Small Batch: Confirm mixing time, shear intensity, and product consistency.
🔹 Adjust Speed & Temperature Settings: Optimize parameters for your specific application.
🔹 Monitor for Unusual Noises or Vibrations: Indicates potential misalignment or lubrication issues.

Make any final adjustments before moving into full-scale production.
