Abstract
A closed kneader mixing machine including a tilting mixing chamber and a pair of counter-rotating intermeshing rotors rotatably mounted within the tilting mixing chamber. Each rotor is a hollow cylinder having a spiral wing on the hollow cylinder with a pain of nogs proximate each end of the hollow cylinder. The counter-rotating intermeshing rotors may be synchronous rotors.

A closed kneader mixing machine comprising:
- a tilting mixing chamber having an open upper end;
- a pair of counter-rotating intermeshing rotors rotatably mounted within the tilting mixing chamber, each rotor comprising:
- a hollow cylinder;
- a spiral wing on the hollow cylinder, the spiral wing extending radially outward from an outer surface of the hollow cylinder and extending axially in a spiral manner from one end of the hollow cylinder towards the other end of the cylinder;
- and
- a pair of nogs on the hollow cylinder, each nog extending radially outward from the outer surface of the hollow cylinder, a nog being proximate each end of the hollow cylinder.
