• Temperature gradients are virtually eliminated.
• Viscosity gradients are virtually eliminated.
• Composition gradients of colorant, chemical additives, fillers and regrind are virtually eliminated.
• Stagnant polymer wall-creep material is incorporated into the bulk polymer stream.

• Static Mixers are used in most extrusion applications including the following:
• Sheet
• Blown Film
• Foam sheet
• Profile extrusion
• Co-extrusion
• Pipe
• Extrusion Blow Molding
• Rod & Tubing
• Wire & Cable
• Coatings
• Fiber extrusion & monofilaments

• Reduction of color additives with comparable extrudate color density.
• Even thickness across the entire extrudate width.
• Streak-free product.
• Improved quality when using regrind material.
• Foam cell size and cell distribution uniformity.
• Improved surface quality
• Improved mechanical characteristics.
• Rapid color change-over SMB-R Static Mixer
