SOLUTIONS FOR CHALLENGING PROCESSES The B&P continuous kneader (CK Series) is a flexible solution for a wide range of compounding needs. This mixer is perfect for a variety of mixing and compounding operations. The system is a single rotating and reciprocating mixing screw which processes material between the moving flights on the screw and the stationary teeth in the barrel wall. The CK Series features an excellent torque to free volume ratio which makes it ideal for thermally sensitive elastomeric adhesives and blowing agent formulations. The clamshell barrel design allows easy access for cleaning and inspection. The system is designed for lower power consumption with better quality finished product than twin-screw designs. The CK Series are offered with various configurations that allow the machine to be converted from cascade discharge to direct-flanged crosshead execution– enabling extreme versatility for changing products. The CK-Series machines are available in 40, 60, 80, 110, 150, 220, 500, 600, 700, and 800mm standard sizes.

In 1937, Baker Perkins began production of pusher centrifuges for separation of coarse solids from free-draining crystalline slurries. This design was quickly recognized by the industry as the optimal configuration for efficiency and a long operating life. Since those early...
