USED AMK VIU4

Manufacturer
AMK
Product Overview
The Used AMK 4-Liter Extrusion Kneader Mixtruder, Model VIU4, is a compact laboratory and pilot-scale processing system designed for intensive mixing, kneading, deaeration, and extrusion of high-viscosity materials. Constructed of stainless steel, this versatile unit combines a tangential sigma blade mixer with an integrated discharge extruder, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, food, adhesive, polymer, and specialty material applications.
The unit features an approximately 8-inch x 8-inch x 7.5-inch deep mixing chamber, equipped with tangential sigma blades powered by a 2.2 kW drive motor. An integrated 1.5 kW extruder drive provides controlled discharge of processed materials through the extrusion barrel. Both the mixing bowl and extruder barrel are jacketed, allowing for temperature-controlled processing using heating or cooling media.
Additional features include a vacuum cover for deaeration and improved product quality, along with a heavy-duty base-mounted design. Built in 1985, this AMK VIU4 Mixtruder is ideal for research, product development, pilot production, and specialty manufacturing requiring efficient processing of viscous materials.

Note: This listing includes the mixer extruder with vacuum cover as described. Dies, tooling, vacuum pump, controls, and ancillary processing equipment are included only if specifically identified.
