The oscillating screw kneader continues to set dependability and efficiency benchmarks in mixing anode paste. The first of the new-generation Buss Kneaders now in service upholds this reputation. Current and future process technology requirements were analysed together with users and EPCs in order to set realistic industrial targets as follows:- Fully optimized product flow geometries to ensure dependable, absolutely trouble-free feed of dry materials und binders- Uniform wetting of coke particles without affecting their structure and size- Adequate retention time and narrow residence time distribution to ensure homogeneous product characteristics- Optimal mixing of the various fractions for uniformly high anode densities- Fast and easy maintenance during long production runsThe new Buss Kneader type KX — with a capacity of more than 60 tons/h — was thoroughly tested for target verification under industrial production conditions. All the requirements listed above have been met in full.
