Carbon Paste Continuous Kneader The B&P Littleford CK-CP Series Continuous Kneader for Carbon Paste is a rotating and reciprocating single-screw extruder designed for efficient mixing of green anode paste at high throughputs. The flights on the Kneader screw are interrupted and interact with three rows of stationary kneading teeth located around and along the barrel wall. The resulting intermesh weaving pattern between the moving flights and the stationary teeth promotes optimal dispersive mixing and distributive mixing by splitting, folding and reorienting the ingredients. This results in consistent and high quality anode paste due to superb distributive mixing of coke with pitch binder. Key Features And Benefits Key Features And Benefits Of B&P Littleford Carbon Paste Kneader: Proven mixing mechanism and automatic mixing energy control results in consistently uniform high grade anode paste. B&P Littleford unique flight geometry provides for gentler mixing action to minimize attrition of coarse particles, resulting in optimal pitch consumption. Pitch injection through kneading tooth prevents formation of paste lumps and minimizes pitch consumption. Also, volatile emissions to upstream equipment are minimized as a result. Lowest cracking rate during baking due to optimum pitch in green anode. Fewer return butts due to equal anode consumption in the pot room. Lower consumption of carbon per ton of aluminum produced. High specific output per machine size and high machine availability.
