DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a continuous mixer, in which post-addition of materials can be positively accomplished whereby adjustment of a filler concentration of the compound and adjustment of blend of final products can be accomplished easily.
The present invention provides the continuous mixer formed with a first and a second mixing portions at rotor portions located upstream and downstream, respectively, of a gate device, in which a forced feed means for forcibly post-adding materials is connected to a portion downstream of the gate device in a chamber and upstream of an exhaust port.
According to this arrangement, since the materials can be forcibly post-added to the portion downstream of the gate device in the chamber and upstream of the exhaust port, the post-addition of the materials to the second mixing portion can be accomplished evenly and sufficiently, and the adjustment of a fillers concentration of the materials and the adjustment of final products can be accomplished easily.
It is noted that for the forced feed means, there can be employed a screw feeder comprising a carrying cylinder connected vertically to the chamber and a feed screw rotatably inserted into the cylinder.
In the present invention, separately from the forced feed means, there is provided a vent port at a portion downstream of the gate device in the chamber and upstream of the exhaust port.
According to this arrangement, the post-addition of the materials becomes enabled while exhausting volatile gases from the vent port, and the adjustment of a filling concentration of the materials and the adjustment of final products can be accomplished easily while keeping the better quality of the products.
In the present invention, a mixing strength adjusting means for adjusting a mixing strength of the compound materials in the second mixing portion is provided at the exhaust port of the chamber or a portion down stream of the second mixing portion.
According to this arrangement, the mixing strength of the compound materials after completion of the post-addition from the forced feed means can be also adjusted adequately by the mixing strength adjusting means
