What are the mixing principles of an open mill?

What are the mixing principles of an open mill? The mixing process of an open mill generally includes three stages: wrapping, feeding, and mixing. (1) Wrapping Several states of rubber in an open mill: 1—Rubber is difficult to enter the roll gap; 2—Tightly wrapped around the front roll; 3—Forms a bag-like shape after leaving the roll; 4—Viscous flow wrapping the roll (2) Feeding Before the rubber is wrapped around the roll and the compounding agents are added, an appropriate amount of rubber should be kept at the upper end of the roll gap. An appropriate amount of accumulated rubber is a necessary condition for feeding. (3) Mixing Circumferential: Most even mixing; Axial: Uneven; Radial: Least even Factors Affecting Open Mill Mixing 1. Rubber Loading Capacity The rubber loading capacity should be reasonably determined based on the specifications of the open mill and the characteristics of the rubber compound formula. If the capacity is too large, the mixing and dispersion effect will be reduced, the mixing temperature will increase, and scorching may occur, affecting the quality of the rubber compound; if the capacity is too small, it will reduce production efficiency. Formula: V—Rubber loading capacity, L; D—Roll diameter, cm; L—Roll length; 2. Roll Gap The roll gap is generally 4~8mm. Reducing the roll gap increases the shearing effect, but also increases heat generation. 3. Mixing Temperature If the roll temperature is too low, the rubber will be too hard and easily damage the equipment. Increasing the roll temperature helps reduce the viscosity of the rubber and accelerate the mixing and feeding speed, but if the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause the rubber to leave the roll and scorch, making it difficult to operate. The roll temperature is generally maintained between 50~60℃ through cooling. However, when mixing rubber compounds containing high-melting-point compounding agents (such as high-melting-point coumarone resin), the roll temperature needs to be appropriately increased.

What precautions should be taken when using a two-roll mill?

What should be paid attention to when using a two-roll mill? A two-roll mill, also known as a plastic pressing machine, is mainly used for experimental pressing and color testing. Please pay attention to the following when pressing: 1. Do not allow the surface of the two rollers of the mill to be scratched by hard objects: Some manufacturers reuse materials, and there may be impurities in the materials, such as stones and iron filings. These must be cleaned up to avoid damaging the surface of the two rollers. If the surface of the roller is scratched, the pressed sheet will not be smooth and flat, affecting the color matching or testing. 2. There are skills in setting the temperature stability: Take 150 degrees as an example. When setting, do not set it to 150 degrees at once. This will increase the temperature quickly, but the stability will be slower. Start by setting it to 120 degrees, and then increase the temperature until it reaches 150 degrees, which will stabilize quickly. 3. Understand the forward, reverse, and emergency stop functions of the two-roll mill, and do not panic in an emergency. When using the mill, pay special attention to safety. In case of danger, immediately press the "emergency stop" or "roller reversal" button to stop the machine or reverse the rollers. 4. When the experiment is completed and the sample is taken, use wooden or bamboo products to remove the sample. Do not use metal products to scrape the surface of the two rollers to avoid damaging the surface. After the sample is made, clean the surface of the rollers with a cotton cloth and apply the appropriate protective oil to facilitate the next use. The temperatures of the two rollers of the mill are controlled separately. Set the appropriate temperature according to the needs to facilitate convenient, fast, flat, and smooth sheet making. The product structure is reasonably designed, and consumables are easy to replace. Buyers can replace them themselves. The machine has forward, reverse, and emergency stop functions to ensure the safety of the operator. This mill should be placed in a ventilated and dry place to extend its service life. Be sure to clean the two rollers of the two-roll mill. Generally, clean them with a cotton cloth and then apply machine oil to the surface for protection to facilitate the next use.

How to operate a kneader!

1. Calculate the single batch amount of rubber and the actual formula according to the capacity of the internal mixer chamber and the appropriate filling factor (0.6~0.7); 2. According to the actual formula, accurately weigh the amount of various raw materials in the formula. Place the raw rubber, small materials (ZnO, SA, accelerator, antioxidant, solid softener, etc.), reinforcing agent or filler, liquid softener, and sulfur separately and arrange them in order on the shelf; 3. Turn on the power switch and heating switch of the internal mixer for preheating. At the same time, check whether the air pressure, water pressure, and voltage meet the process requirements, and check whether the temperature measurement system, timing device, power system indication, and record are normal; 4. After the internal mixer is preheated, stabilize it for a period of time and prepare for rubber mixing; 5. Lift the upper top plug, put the raw rubber cut into small pieces into the internal mixer from the feeding port, lower the upper top plug, and mix the rubber for 1 min; 6. Lift the upper top plug, add small materials, lower the upper top plug and mix for 1.5 min; 7. Lift the upper top plug, add carbon black or filler, lower the upper top plug and mix for 3 min; 8. Lift the upper top plug, add liquid softener, lower the upper top plug and mix for 1.5 min; 9. Discharge the rubber, measure the temperature of the rubber with a thermocouple thermometer, and record the initial temperature of the mixing chamber, the temperature of the mixing chamber at the end of mixing, the discharge temperature, the maximum power, and the speed of the rotor; 10. Adjust the roll gap of the internal mixer to 3.8 mm, turn on the power switch to make the open mill run, open the circulating water valve, then put the rubber discharged from the internal mixer onto the open mill to wrap the roll. After the rubber temperature drops to below 110 ℃, add sulfur, cut twice with the left and right knives, wait until the sulfur is completely absorbed, the surface of the rubber is relatively smooth, and then cut off the rubber. 11. Adjust the roll gap of the internal mixer to 0.5 mm, put in the rubber for thin rolling, make a triangle package, thin roll 5 times, adjust the roll gap to about 2.4 mm, put in the rubber for roll wrapping. After the surface is smooth and bubble-free, take off the sheet, weigh the total mass of the rubber, place it on a flat, clean metal surface and cool to room temperature, paste a label indicating the rubber formula number and mixing date, and store it for later use.
