Mixing Parameters: The Rubber Industry's Tool Belt

                There are a number of mixing parameters that can affect the outcome of a rubber mix and some of these parameters are often overlooked.  Mixing parameters include the type of rotor, the ram pressure, the circulating water temperature, the addition scheme and others.  Depending on the type of mixer one has, these parameters can become very important in making the product one desires.  The different parameters will be investigated as to how they affect a mix.
