About this machine

This Werner & Pfleiderer Stuttgart UK-80 K4UH is a mixer and blender — more specifically a Z-blade mixer, a type of machine also commonly referred to as a sigma blade mixer — used for the intensive mixing, kneading, and blending of high-viscosity materials such as pastes, doughs, rubber compounds, adhesives, and similar substances. Werner & Pfleiderer is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing heavy-duty process machinery for the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and rubber industries, and their Z-blade mixers are widely recognised in industrial processing applications.

This example, serial numbers 163 258 / 483 188, was built in 1979 and is located in Barneveld, Netherlands. The mixing trough is constructed from stainless steel grade 1.4571 (the equivalent of 316Ti), which offers good corrosion resistance and is appropriate for demanding process environments. The total trough capacity is 170 litres, with a useful working capacity of 80 litres. Trough internal dimensions are 515 × 525 × 600 mm.

The machine is equipped with a jacket for heating or cooling, rated to a working pressure of 10 bar, and the trough itself is rated to a working pressure of 2 bar. A maximum operating temperature of 350 degrees Celsius is specified. The combination of pressure-rated jacket and high maximum temperature makes this unit suitable for processes requiring precise thermal control. The trough also has vacuum capability, and is fitted with a cover and adjustable packing glands.

Drive is double-geared and hydraulically powered; the hydraulic power pack is noted as missing. A 2.0 kW electric motor operating at 220/380 volts is present. Tilting of the trough for discharge is hydraulic. The machine is currently mounted on a foundation. Overall footprint is 2.8 × 1.2 metres, and the total height is 1.9 metres.

An additional set of masticator arms is included with the machine, extending its versatility for processing materials of differing rheological properties alongside the standard Z-blade configuration.
