Manufacturer

Unique Mixers & Furnaces

Product Overview

The Used Unique Mixers & Furnaces PVT Mixtruder, Model MME-3, is a compact laboratory and pilot-scale masticator mixer extruder designed for intensive mixing, kneading, and extrusion of high-viscosity materials. Featuring 316 stainless steel product contact surfaces and 304 stainless steel non-product contact surfaces, this versatile processing system is well suited for pharmaceutical, chemical, food, cosmetic, adhesive, polymer, and specialty material applications.

The unit has a 6-liter (1.58-gallon) total bowl capacity with an approximate 3-liter (0.80-gallon) working capacity. Equipped with heavy-duty masticator blades, a jacketed mixing bowl rated for 4 kg/cm² (56 PSI), and independent 3 HP mixer and extruder drives, the MME-3 provides efficient processing of dense, cohesive, and difficult-to-mix materials.

Both the mixer and extruder are powered by 3 HP motors operating through 17.12:1 gear reducers, with an external control panel featuring variable frequency drive (VFD) motor controllers for precise speed adjustment. Built in 2006, the unit is mounted on a compact unitized base and includes removable end plates and a flat cover for convenient cleaning and maintenance.

Note: This listing includes the mixer/extruder and external VFD control panel (Order #U-2805). Tooling, dies, ancillary feeding equipment, and downstream processing equipment are included only if specifically stated.
