Digitalising kneaders and internal mixers
Kneaders and internal mixers produce rubber compounds, plastic compounds and doughs. Here, energy input and temperature profile determine quality. OPDPRO.CARE records these values for every mix. It assigns them to the recipe and the raw materials used.
What OPDPRO.CARE captures at the kneader
- Kneading time and mixing cycle
- Compound and chamber temperature
- Energy input and rotor speed
- Ram pressure (internal mixer)
- Components and batches per mix, including small quantities and oils
- Downstream processing on the roll mill
What it means day to day
- Reproducible compounds
- Mixing-room retrofit: ram kneader, internal mixer, roll mill, scales and silos are considered together – not just a PLC swap
- Every mix can be traced back to its raw materials and process history
- Outliers are spotted early
