The Sulzer Melt Blender SMB-R is designed for use in extrusion systems. It is usually installed just before the die after the screen changer and gear pump. The patented design with its open and crossed flow channels has evolved through extensive R & D programs and the experience of our customers. Today, it is the standard product for various extrusion applications.
The Sulzer Melt Blender SMB-R generally consists of 4 to 6 mixing elements, which homogenize the polymer melt in a radial direction. The degree of mixing is increased by a factor of 5 to 12.
Dimensions:
This mixer type is available in the following flow channel diameters:
| Ø in mm |
| 65 | 80 | 100 | 125 | 150 | 175 | 200 |
Most of these mixers are stock items and can be delivered at a short notice. Other sizes on request.
The Sulzer melt blender can be supplied as a complete assembly with housing, heating bands, thermocouples and is manufactured according to customer specification.
In case you wish to replace a Sulzer Melt Blender SSM-X with SMB-R, Sulzer can offer you a retrofitting sleeve.
