BANBURY MIXER

PRESENTATION
PRINCIPALS OF BANBURY MIXER
The Banbury mixer is a type of internal mixer used for mixing and
kneading materials, particularly rubber and plastics. The key
principles of a Banbury mixer are:
 Counter-Rotating Rotors: Two rotors rotate in opposite directions,
creating a high-shear mixing action.
 Kneading Action : The rotors’ motion creates a kneading action,
developing and refining the material’s molecular structure.
 Heat Transfer : The mixer’s design allows for efficient heat
transfer, enabling precise temperature control during processing.
 Discharge System : A hydraulic or pneumatic discharge system
facilitates easy removal of the mixed material.
CONSTRUCTION OF BANBURY MIXER
 Housing : A sturdy, cast-iron or steel frame that contains the
mixing chamber.
 Drive System : A motor, gearbox, and bearings that power the
rotors’ counter-rotation.
 Rotor Shafts : Steel shafts that support the rotors and transmit
power from the drive system.
 Discharge Door : A hydraulically or pneumatically operated door
for easy removal of the mixed material.
 Ram : A hydraulic or pneumatic ram that presses the material
down into the mixing chamber.
WORKING OF BANBURY MIXER
 Material feeding: Raw materials are fed into the mixing chamber
through a feed hopper.
 Rotors engagement: The counter-rotating rotors engage, creating
a high-shear mixing action.
 Kneading: The rotors’ wings knead the material, developing its
molecular structure.
 Heating/Cooling: Temperature control through the cooling system
or external heating sources.
 Discharge: The mixed material is discharged through the
hydraulic or pneumatic door.
APPLICATION OF BANBURY MIXER
 Rubber compounding: Mixing rubber with additives, fillers,
and curatives.
 Plastic processing: Compounding plastics with additives,
fillers, and colorants.
 Rubber recycling: Processing recycled rubber for reuse.
 Silica reinforcement: Mixing silica with rubber for improved
strength and durability.
 Research and development: Testing new materials, recipes,
and processes.
