Summary

  • KRC kneader is a horizontal twin shaft, co-rotating and closed type of kneading processor on a continous basis.
  • KRC kneader is designed for various customer's requirement. More than 1000 KRC Kneaders have been installed in a variety of fields, especially in chemical field.
  • KRC kneader is used in processes involving :
    • MIXING
    • REACTING
      * If required longer residence time and higher production capacity, KRC Hybrid Reactor (Continuous Reactor) would be a solution.
    • KNEADING
    • COMPOUNDING
    • SHEARING
    • CRYSTALLIZING
    • SOLIDIFICATION

Typical Flow

Specifications of S-type

T-type KRC Kneader (High Torque Type)

T-type KRC Kneader is suitable for kneading & mixing material which can not be handled by S-type KRC Kneader and needs higher horsepower.

Horsepower per unit volume is 6-7 times compared to S-type KRC Kneader.

Kneading mechanism

  • The paddles can be changed individually. Therefore the optimum paddle arrangement pattern can be selected according to the application and purpose.
    These selections of paddle arrangement enable the Kneader to control residence time and axial pressure distribution of the materials.
  • Paddles rotate so that one paddle wipes the tip of another paddle in rotation, preventing build up of material to the paddle.
  • Volume of material is changed in compression and expansion according to paddle's rotation.
    Shearing actions between the barrel and paddle, and between paddles increases efficiency of kneading and dispersion.

Heating or cooling system

  • Jackets provided in the upper and lower barrels can control barrel temperature by circulating heating or cooling medium.
  • Temperature is applied up to 350 Celsius degree by heating medium.

Standard driving system

  • Either single speed motor or variable motor can be used.

Paddles and screws

KRC Kneader Paddle

Two types of screws and three types of paddles are available.
  • Feed screw for conveying( FS )
  • Reverse screw for reverse conveying( RS )
  • Flat paddle for kneading( F )
  • Helical paddle for kneading and conveying( H )
  • Reverse helical paddle for kneading and reversing
    ( RH )
  • The paddles are mounted on a shaft so that the angle between the two contacting paddles can be 45 ( forty - five ) degree, providing four angular positions.
    On the other hand, a pair of paddles mounted side by side on a pair of shafts must always be 90 ( ninety ) degree apart.

BARREL

Three types of barrels are available.
