The continuous mixer stands out among mechanical components for its particular shape: it consists of two rotors that rotate in opposite directions but are not meshed with each other.

This feature makes it particularly suitable for cutting and mixing operations of plastic materials, earning it the name “continuous mixer.” Its main function is to efficiently mix plastic materials, facilitating the production of homogeneous compounds.

The rotors of the mixer are typically reinforced with welds on the crest for increased strength. On the thrust sides, carbide overlays are applied to increase wear resistance.
