The “New-Generation” Co-flow Intermeshing Internal Mixer

Abstract
The “new-generation” Coflow4™ intermeshing internal mixer uses less motor power peak and specific energy than all traditional intermeshing and tangential internal mixers. The Co-flow4™ mixer provides the following advantages: better quality, 20% to 45% increase in productivity depending on your rotor length-to-diameter ratio, improved heat transfer, over 50% reduction in dust-stop leaks, better for one-pass or multiple-pass mixing, wide range of process materials, better wear life, retrofit capabilities and lower mixer cost. It is more cost effective to retrofit your traditional mixer with a Coflow4™ mixer when your chamber bores and rotors are worn out, and you are ready for a rebuild rather than investing into the same old mixing technologies that yield small return. Owing to the optimal constant rotor length-to-diameter ratio and the superior mixing capabilities of the co-flow mixing technology, it will be beneficial to try and use the Coflow4™ mixer to compound the materials, which could not be compounded before by the old traditional mixing technologies or the two-roll mills.
