Common Discharge Types of Simga Mixer

1. Hydraulic Tilting Discharge

Sigma mixer rotates completely to discharge the material.

Suitable for high-viscosity, semi-solid, and even lumpy materials.
Fast discharge speed.
Easy cleaning.
Simpl manual operation.

Suitable materials: Hot melt glue, butyl rubber, high-viscosity rubber, sealants, chewing gum base, resins, etc.

2. Hydraulic Bottom Discharge

Materials are pushed through a bottom valve, with hydraulic control.

Suitable for materials with good flowability or medium viscosity.
More precise discharge, suitable for connecting to subsequent pumping or molding processes.
A more enclosed and cleaner production process.

Suitable materials: Paints, putties, high-viscosity slurries, food base materials, hot melt glue, etc.

3. Manual bottom valve

Manually open the bottom valve to discharge material.

Lowest cost
Flexible operation and simple structure

Suitable materials: Medium flowability, non-hazardous materials, laboratory use.

4. Screw discharge

Sigma mixer has an extrusion device at the bottom, extruded by a screw or pusher plate.

Even materials with extremely high viscosity can be extruded.
The discharge is uniform and controllable, suitable for continuous production.
Suitable for drum or strip forming processes.

Suitable materials: Butyl sealant, rubber base material, ultra-high viscosity sealant, aviation adhesive, modeling clay, rubber putty, etc.

sigma mixer discharge type

Key factors in choosing the discharge type for sigma mixer are:

Material viscosity
Flowability
Whether it needs to be connected to the nect process
Labor and hygiene requirements
Budge and floor space requirements

Comparison of the advantages and discharges of different discharge methods

Discharge types	Advantages	Disadvantages
Hydraulic tilting discharge	Highly versatile, suitable for high viscosity, easy to clean	Slightly larger soace required
Hydraulic bottom discharge	More enclosed and cleaner, suitable for integration with production lines	Unsuitable for extremely high viscosity materials
Manual bottom valve	Most suitable for ultra-high viscosity and quantitative dispensing	Higher cost and more complex structure
Screw discharge	Lowest cost	Unsuitable for high viscosity materials, low efficiency
