Sheet Preformer
Outline
The Kneader sheet preformer was designed to manufacture rubber sheets on a fully automatic basis. This uniquely designed sheet preformer consists of two sections, a twin taper screw feeder and a roller die unit. The feeder section has a large volume hopper, which is capable of handling multiple batches directly from a mixer. The twin taper screws “bite” and feed the rubber compound into a horizontal roller die for automatic and continuous sheeting, while large volume cooling jackets in the feeder and roller die section imparts effective cooling to the rubber compound.
Features
- Automated sheet production
- Consistent material feed to rolls
- Excellent sheet cooling capabilities
- Produce sheet with less energy costs
- Self cleaning – no residual material left in feeder section
- Reduced wear (no feed screw to casing contact)
- Improves compound uniformity
Applications
- Rubber compounds
- Plastic compounds
- Master batches
- Resins
- Etc.
