VIC INTERNAL MIXERS OFFER GREATEST FLEXIBILITY IN MIXING

Starting from 1988, a new concept of internal mixer with variable intermeshing clearance (VIC) was introduced. VIC is an internal mixer with intermeshing rotors that provide the technologist with an additional variable to work with: the variation of the clearance between the rotors, just in the area where the shear action takes place. The possibility to establish a given rotor clearance for a compound according to its viscosity provides a further variable In machine performance. The gap variation during the mixing cycle can be automatically linked and controlled by the energy or the temperature or any other mixing parameter
