Abstract

A kneader for carrying out mechanical, chemical and/or thermal processes, comprising at least two shafts, which rotate in a manner that is parallel to the axis and which are situated inside a housing having an inner wall. Kneading bars, which follow one another in a direction of rotation and in an axial direction of the shafts and which extend along the inner wall of the housing and in the direction of the shafts or diagonal thereto, are located on the shafts while being mounted on a supporting element. The paths of the kneading bars on both shafts overlap at least partially and, during rotation, the kneading bars on one shaft engage between the supporting elements on the other shaft. The supporting elements are of different thicknesses and are arranged in succession in a direction of rotation (X) on the shaft while being situated on and/or in a radial plane (E).
