Kneader TKH

The kneader TKH operates with two counter-current Z-shaped kneading elements rotating with different velocities.

They are designed for intensive kneading of soap flakes or noodles with colour, perfume and other liquid or pasty additives and for homogenizing the mixture. Because of the accordingly designed Z-shaped mixing elements and the difference in rotational speed the soap can be kneaded so extremely well that translucent soap can be produced, too. Mixing a batch takes normally about 10 to 15 minutes.

The twin mixing trough is fed from the top and for discharge it is tilted by two hydraulic cylinders. The drive for each mixing element is made by a three-phase motor, V-belt, spiral bevel drive and spur gears. The trough in jacketed design so that it can be heated or cooled according to necessity. Operation of the kneader is done by a switchboard which is either installed on the machine or separately.

The cover of the trough is secured electrically by a limit switch so that the machine is stopped automatically or cannot be started as long as the cover is open. By tilting of the trough the Z-shaped elements can be switched on by actuating two push-buttons in order to accelerate the process of discharge.
