One cubic foot (28 L) Vee Cone Blender with safety-interlocked polycarbonate housing achieves uniform blends of dry bulk solids in 15 to 30 minutes typical, with little or no product degradation.
Suitable for laboratory testing, pilot plants or low volume blending of dry powders and granular materials, the unit delivers equal homogeneity at fill volumes from 100% to 50% of rated capacity.
Smooth internal surfaces allow complete discharge through a 6 in. (152 mm) hand-wheel-operated butterfly valve, eliminating material waste. Access to internal surfaces through the discharge valve and twin doors at the ends of the inclined cylinders permit thorough sanitizing in minutes, preventing cross contamination.
Driven by a 1HP (.75 kW) wash-down motor, the Vee Cone chamber rotates at up to 30 RPM, imparting a tumbling action that is more gentle and consumes less energy than ribbon blenders and other agitated machines in which blades, paddles or plows are forced through stationary material.
