Prep-Mixer® Blades
Roller Blades are most commonly used for materials that require a strong
shear force to form a homogenous melt: thermoplastics, and many thermosetting
resins such as phenolics and expoxies...typical studies: fusion, lubricity,
heat stability, crosslinking, and degradation..
Banbury Blades are desigened to duplicate the mixing action of a commercial Banbury Mixer...a medium shear-rate mixing action ideal for mixing elastomeric materials, compounding studies, and recycled materials...
CAM Blades have achieved widespread success in the Rubber Industry...a medium shear-rate blade imposing a combination of milling, mixing, and shearing forces against the test sample, alternating compacting and releasing the material within the chamber...
Sigma Blades are the original Brabender® Mixer blades developed several decades ago for the testing of flour dough...its low shear-rate design creates a tumbling and kneading force within the mixer without imposing a strong compressing force.
