Whirl-Air - Pneumatic Batch Blending for the Process Industries
Whirl-Air Batch Blender/Transporters can handle a variety of dry materials in a wide range of particle sizes and densities. Pneumatic blending provides thorough, dust-free mixing with extremely low sheer and blend times of only two to five minutes. The unique Whirl-Air design uses dense phase pneumatic conveying to deliver the blended batch without segregation to one or more process areas. The Blender/ Transporter combination also features the capability to deliver different batch weights to the multiple process areas. Whirl-Air Batch Blender/Transporters can easily be mounted on a load cell weighing system to weigh ingredients or check weigh a batch. The controls system allows fully automatic operation.

Overhead storage silos feed product to weigh hopper by screw conveyor or other volumetric feeder. Blender receives weighed batch, blends and conveys mixed batch to process. Whirl-Air often supplies minor or micro ingredient systems to accurately add small weighments to each batch.Whirl-Air typically provides comprehensive systems to fully automate the entire process.
This self-standing system has a gravity discharge blender with manual filling inlet.
