Abstract: In the field of mixing rubber mixtures, a rotor (100), for use in an internal mixer having a mixing vessel in which the rotor rotates, includes one or more blades (104), each blade having a tip (104a) with a profile having a predefined curvature and an anti-wear device detachably fixed to the tip (104a) of at least one blade. The anti-wear device includes a plate (110) with a profile defined by a lower surface (112) with a curvature complementary to that of the tip (104a) and an upper surface (114) with a curvature complementary to that of a wall of the vessel to define, between them, a zone of minimum distance that allows a passage of the mixture between the plate (110) and the wall of the vessel. One or more fastening systems (135) are fitted and tightened with respect to the plate (110) so as to engage the rotor (100).

Abstract: An additive manufacturing machine (10) comprises a working plane (18) comprising a working zone (20) allowing an overlay of different layers of powder to be received, and a powder dispensing device (32) comprising a powder intake (36) allowing powder to be delivered on top of the working plane. The powder dispensing device (32) comprises a tank (44) of powder mounted to move above the working plane (18) and that can be displaced to under the powder intake (36), the bottom part (45) of the tank (44) comprises a powder dispensing point (P1), and the powder dispensing device (32) comprises a control device (48) controlling the flow of powder via the powder dispensing point during a displacement of the tank. The tank (44) is mounted on a weighing sensor (68).
