  • Patent number: 5230561
    Abstract: A horizontal-type biaxial kneader for rubber kneading and such operation. It comprises two mixing chambers provided in juxtaposed relation, which mixing chambers are connected through an interposed region below a ram and above a bridge, and rotary shafts each equipped with a rotor blade including at least two blade wings, which rotary shafts are provided in parallel to each other within the two mixing chambers, so that the content of the mixing chambers is interchanged between the mixing chambers by rotating the rotor blades in directions opposite to each other. The rotor blades have a cross-sectional configuration characterized in that a scrape angle on the rear side of the tip of each blade wing is made larger than a bite angle on the front side of the same.
