Static Mixers

Static Mixers used for high viscous melt flow mixing of polymers and foods in extrusion service.


Common Applications

Static Mixers are used in most extrusion applications including the following:

  • Sheet
  • Blown Film
  • Foam sheet
  • Profile extrusion
  • Co-extrusion
  • Pipe
  • Extrusion Blow Molding
  • Rod & Tubing
  • Wire & Cable
  • Coatings
  • Cereals and other foods
  • Fiber extrusion & monofilaments


Advantages

  • Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density.
  • Even thickness across the entire extrudate width.
  • Streak-free product.
  • Improved quality when using regrind material.
  • Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity.
  • Improved surface quality
  • Improved mechanical characteristics.
  • Rapid color change-over
