Xaloy nXmix™ Mixer Combines High Intensity
With Low Shear and Heat
The Xaloy nXmix™ represents a step-change advance in technology for dispersion of additives and fillers in thermoplastic polymers.
- Operates in line with conventional single- and twin-screw extruders
- Provides thorough distributive and intense dispersive mixing action
- Works at low shear, low process temperatures and low energy consumption
- Reduces particle size and exfoliates agglomerates such as nanoclays or clumpy pigments
- Avoids degradation of heat-sensitive fillers and polymers – wood chips and PVC, for example.
Applications
- Traditional production of compounded resins and masterbatch
- In-line compounding of highly filled materials in making blown film, sheet, pipe and profiles with single screw extrusion.
How it works
The nXmix™ is a two-stage device. The first stage uses an incised rotor to generate high-shear mixing of very short duration. This breaks up agglomerates and creates a molecular structure which results in reduced viscosity in preparation for the next mixing stage. The second stage involves a specially shaped rotor and stator each having a multitude of pockets in a helical configuration. This stage produces elongational flow with thorough mixing at very low shear rates and temperatures. The nXmix™ is covered by extensive patents in place and pending worldwide.
The nXmix™ system neatly complements Xaloy’s portfolio of extrusion solutions. Other portfolio components include screws, barrels, melt pumps, screen changers and pelletizers.
