摘要:
Material working screw. There is provided a screw for working flowable material having means therein for preventing laminar flow through the flights thereof. Transverse shearing webs extend between flights, are suitably spaced from each other and are of sufficiently less radial extent than said adjacent flights as to provide a pass-through zone between the top of each of such webs and the housing surrounding the screw. Transverse splitting webs also extend between said flights, are positioned between said shearing webs and define a slot extending in a direction having at least a radial component with respect to the axis of the screw. Thus, material passing over a shearing web cannot by laminar flow pass through the slot of such splitting web but instead the material passing through the slot of the splitting web is of a different radial orientation than that passing over the shearing web. Accordingly, laminar flow is broken up, the material further mixed and kneaded, and the desired working thereof accomplished.

There is disclosed a continuously operating kneading and mixing screw device for kneading and mixing kneadable and mixable materials. This device comprises a power driven shaft mounting interrupted flights and journaled in a housing. Mixing elements extend from the inside of the housing into spaces between the flights. These elements are rotatable and can be turned into selected positions independently of the rotation of the screw shaft.
