Advanced rotor design: The four-wing N rotor - Part 1

摘要

Rubber compounds have generally been mixed the same way for over 90 years since the introduction of the internal intensive mixer by Fernley H. Banbury in 1916. The internal intensive mixer has a number of advantages over the old two-roll mill mixing; the internal mixer is more productive, cleaner and safer. Over the years, improvements have been made to the quality and throughput (kilogram/hour) of the materials masticated with internal mixers via a number of mechanical changes. These include modified and/or new rotor designs, improved chamber designs, improved rotor cooling and improved product discharging, to name a few.
