VARIABLE-INTENSITY BLENDERS

Features

  • Ability to blend an exceptionally broad range of dry bulk materials, emulsions and slurries
  • Infinitely adjustable rotor speed provides low- to high-shear mixing action to suit each application
  • High throughput with 20 to 30 seconds residence time typical
  • Nominal 4-to-1 length-to-diameter ratio for high throughput rates
  • Injection ports allow the addition of liquids during mixing, and of water and cleaning solutions during wash down
  • 180° adjustable paddle pitch for varying degrees of blending intensity
  • Internal mechanical face seals as standard
  • Multiple "V" belt and sheave drives
  • Fully enclosed guards
  • Large, safety-interlocked access doors for ease of access and maintenance
  • Complete discharge
  • Low maintenance

Large-radius ground and polished welds connecting paddles to the solid shaft

Large-radius ground and polished welds connecting paddles to the solid shaft eliminate crevices where materials could lodge, allowing rapid cleaning and sanitizing. For non-sanitary applications, the shaft can be equipped with 180° adjustable paddles (right) for varying degrees of blending intensity.
