IKA® Vertical Kneading Machines

PLANETRON ® HKVCompared to the classical planetarymixer with only one drivemotor, the IKA-PLANETRON ®vertical kneading machine in theexecution with 2 drive motorsenables – additionally to the speedadjustment – a variable adjustmentof the speed relation of the twokneading blades. Due to this factalso very sticky masses like e.g.hotmelts can now be processed ina vertical kneading machine. Instandard planetary mixers thesemasses climbed up at the kneadingblades and were thus no moreeffected by the shear forces.6PLANETRON ® heavy-dutykneading machines are workingwith kneading blades that are onlyone sided running on bearings.Thus the product to be kneadeddoes neither come into contactwith seals nor bearings, resultingin highest product pureness.The use of several kneading bowlsenables a semi-automatic process.
