This Werner & Pfleiderer UK-80 AES is a mixer and blender — also commonly referred to as a kneader — built in 1990 and currently located in Barneveld, Netherlands. Z-blade mixers of this kind are used for the intensive mixing, kneading, and blending of viscous, doughy, or paste-like materials, and find wide application in the food, chemical, rubber, and pharmaceutical industries. Werner & Pfleiderer is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-performance mixing and extrusion equipment for demanding industrial processing applications.
This machine carries serial number 229808 and has an 80-litre trough volume and working capacity. It is constructed throughout in stainless steel, making it suitable for hygienic or chemically demanding applications. The trough is fitted with a jacket divided into three sections — 12 litres, 1.5 litres, and 9 litres — enabling precise thermal control across different zones. The machine can reach a maximum process temperature of 200 °C, and the arms themselves are designed to be heated or cooled, giving further control over the mixing environment. Both pressure operation at up to 6 bar and vacuum operation are possible.
The mixer is driven by an 11/18 kW motor rated at 500 volts and is configured for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, as indicated by the Ex motor designation. A variable speed drive is fitted, with the Z-blades running at between 20 and 40 rpm and a screw discharge unit operating at between 750 and 1,500 rpm. The double-geared drive arrangement and the inclusion of a hydraulic unit support reliable operation under the high torque demands typical of viscous batch processing.
Additional features include a cover over the trough, a screw discharge system for controlled emptying of the batch, and the entire assembly is mounted on a frame. The machine occupies a floor area of 2.6 by 1.7 metres and stands 2.3 metres in total height. It is offered in used condition.
