DEGUMA neo basic, plus or premium - the right choice for every application

Selecting the right mixing mill is crucial for the success of your rubber production. But which system optimally fits your specific requirements? Whether cable, construction, or automotive industry – the mixing mill must match your customer-specific application and the individual conditions on-site.

In this article, we present three modern mixing mill concepts developed for different production requirements. From cost-effective entry-level solutions to highly flexible premium systems, you'll find the right solution for your operation here.

DEGUMA neo basic: The Solid Entry-Level Model

Who is it suitable for?

The DEGUMA neo basic mixing mill is designed for companies seeking a reliable, cost-effective solution for standardized applications. Particularly suitable for smaller operations or as a complement to existing production lines.

Technical Features

  • Compact design for space-saving installation
  • Easy installation without complex preparations
  • Modern safety technology according to current standards
  • Solid basic equipment for all essential functions

Applications

The neo basic reliably handles all fundamental mixing processes:

  • Preheating of rubber compounds for further processing
  • Incorporation of vulcanizing agents and other raw materials
  • Mastication of rubber for basic preparation
  • Reprocessing of production waste/scraps for recycling

Ideal for

Companies with standardized production processes that value a proven, cost-effective solution. Perfect when you primarily process one type of compound and want to maintain proven formulations.

DEGUMA neo plus: Flexibility on Demand

Who is it suitable for?

The DEGUMA neo plus mixing mill is the choice for operations that need more flexibility but don't require all premium features. It offers the proven basic concept with expandable options.

Technical Features

  • Modular system with optional additional equipment
  • Stock blender for improved mixing quality (optional)
  • Adjustable material guide jaws for different materials (optional)
  • Strip cutter for precise material processing (optional)
  • Expandable configuration as needed

Applications

The neo plus covers a broader spectrum than the basic model:

  • All basic applications plus extended functions
  • Sheeting, homogenizing and cooling of compounds from internal mixers
  • Production of compound strips in various formats
  • Drawing of rubber sheets for special applications
  • Flexible adaptation to changing production requirements

Ideal for

Companies that manufacture different product types or plan to expand their product portfolio in the future. The modular concept enables gradual adaptation of the system to growing requirements.

DEGUMA neo premium: Maximum Flexibility and Efficiency

Who is it suitable for?

The neo premium is the solution for demanding productions that require maximum flexibility, energy efficiency, and individual customization options.

Technical Features

  • State-of-the-art torque motors with outstanding energy efficiency
  • Maximum flexibility for all applications and compounds
  • Individual customization options according to customer requirements
  • High-quality components for maximum service life
  • Constant maximum torque from 0 RPM
  • Very low maintenance requirements through modern technology

Energy Efficiency in Detail

The premium system convinces through exceptional efficiency:

  • Constant maximum torque from 0 RPM to rated speed
  • High drive efficiency (up to 98%)
  • Very low maintenance requirements reduce operating costs
  • Compact arrangement of both drives on one side
  • Small footprint despite maximum performance

Applications

The neo premium handles all applications:

  • Production of rubber compounds and formulation development
  • All functions of the basic and plus models
  • High-precision processing for demanding quality standards
  • Flexible formulation adjustments for product development
  • Optimized energy efficiency for cost-effective production

Ideal for

Companies with high quality requirements, frequently changing formulations, or demanding development projects. Particularly suitable for operations that value sustainability and long-term economic efficiency.


Choose neo basic if:

You primarily have standardized processes
You need a proven, cost-effective solution
Easy installation and operation are important
Your budget is limited
You process one type of compound
