VMI-AZ Launches the iCOM® continuous mixing process

VMI-AZ, the extrusion division of the VMI Group has developed a superior final mixing process using transfer-mix single screw extruder mixing technology in conjunction with a gear pump. The total output control of VMI-AZ’s iCOM® system is provided by the volumetric operating gear pump while the final mixing is accomplished by the transfer-mix extruder. 

Thanks to the variable screw speed of the extruder-gearpump system, mixing parameters can be easily optimized for each compound. This is further achieved by gravimetric dosing of chemicals with a loss-in-weight feeder. The iCOM® increases capacity on the internal mixer, while improving quality and reducing mixing costs. iCOM® system are available in mixing capacities of 200 till 4500 kg/h of final mix per hour.
