VIC series
The Intermix
®
VIC is another excellent example
of intermeshing technology. This machine type
provides a unique, additional processing para-
meter of special importance for the tyre industry –
it allows the gap between rotors to be adjusted
during the mixing process. A large gap allows
very fast intake of raw materials into the mix-
ing chamber, while a narrow gap increases
the quality of dispersion. Thanks to the gap
adjustment option, the machine can be used
in a very efficient and versatile way. Like the
Intermix
®
E, the VIC also delivers high spe-
cific energy into the compound in the shortest
time with optimal temperature control thanks
to a favourable ratio between cooling surfaces
and batch volume: a key factor for temperature-
sensitive compounds such as silica.
More features:
Variable distance between rotors for
optimal mixing process steps
Fast intake and adjustable shear level
Flexibility for different process
applications (mastication, remilling
master batches and final production)
Durable crack-free hard facing for an
extended lifetime
Hydraulic ram with highly accurate
pressure control
Hydraulic dust seals with multiple
cylinder concept (HCD) for a superior
seal and easy maintenance
