Jw. Cho et al., FLOW VISUALIZATION IN AN INTERNAL MIXER USING AN ADJUSTABLE ROTOR SYSTEM - COMPARISON OF DOUBLE FLIGHTED AND 4 FLIGHTED ROTORS, Kautschuk und Gummi, Kunststoffe, 50(6), 1997, pp. 496-499
An apparatus has been constructed which allows flow visualization meas
urements using an internal mixer with variable rotors whose designs ma
y be readily interchanged, The use of rotors is illustrated by constru
cting standard two and four wing rotors and comparing their performanc
e. Measurements of bale homogenization times, black incorporation time
s, torque and dump temperature are recorded.
