n An intensive mixer originally used for rubber, and for many years used for mixing plastics such as cellulosics, vinyls, polyethylene and others. It consists of two counter rotating, spiral-shaped blades encased in segments of cylindrical housing, the housing halves joined along internal ridges between the blades. Blades and housing may be cored for circulating heating or cooling liquids. A recent adaptation of the design, with connections to feed and discharge screws, permits continuous operation.
