About this machine

This UTV Chemie Equipement S.A M-40 SL is a used mixer and blender — commonly referred to as a kneader or sigma mixer — dating from 1993 and currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands. Z-blade mixers of this type are heavy-duty batch processing machines used to mix, knead, and homogenise viscous, paste-like, or dough-consistency materials across industries including chemicals, adhesives, rubber, plastics, and food processing. The Z-shaped blades create an intensive shearing and folding action that ensures thorough mixing of even dense or difficult materials.

The machine carries serial number 3782 and is built from mild steel throughout. It has a total gross capacity of 400 litres with a useful working capacity of 250 litres, and the trough dimensions are 845 × 700 × 750 mm. The mixing trough is fitted with a jacket rated to a working pressure of 4 bar, enabling temperature control of the batch through heating or cooling media, while the mixer itself operates at 0 bar working pressure. A vacuum capability is also noted, broadening the range of processes for which the machine can be used.

The drive system is powered by an ATEX-rated (Ex) motor of 45.0 kW. The single-speed gearbox provides blade arm speeds of approximately 15.5 and 22 rpm, giving the operator a choice of mixing intensity. The machine is equipped with a cover and features adjustable packing glands to maintain sealing integrity. Trough discharge is handled by hydraulic tilting, and the machine includes its own hydraulic unit to serve this function.

In terms of physical footprint, the mixer occupies a floor area of approximately 2.2 × 1.1 metres without the drive unit, and stands to a total height of 1.8 metres, making it a relatively compact installation for a 250-litre capacity machine. The unit is offered in used condition.
