Rotary blender MBC

for the pharmaceutical industryfor the food industrydouble-cone

The double cone blender is used to produce homogeneous solid-solid mixture. Mixing is a common process step in the manufacture of products for industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical, detergents, fertilizers and plastics. Examples of materials or substances mixed in this way include pharmaceutical granules, semolina flour, seeds, starch, coffee beans and ground coffee, cocoa, chocolate flakes or granules, powdered milk, baby food, preparations to make dehydrated soups and creams, leaf waxes, detergent granules, soap flakes, artificial fertilizers, plastic in powder, ground or pellet form, fibreglass, etc. Operating principle The main body of the blender consists of two cone-shaped sections welded at their bases to a central cylindrical section. The axis of rotation is perpendicular to the cone axis and passes through the cylindrical section. The driving motor is located at one of the two lateral supports holding the blender body. The solids are introduced into the blender through the loading aperture. In this type of blender, mixing takes place axially, as a result of the powder moving through the different sections. Mixing is thorough but it depends on the rotating speed. The mixture is discharged through a hermetically closing butterfly valve which can be operated manually or automatically. The skid has an electrically secured safety perimeter guard to prevent operators from gaining access during use. In the event of accidental access, for safety reasons the process will be stopped. Design and features The series consists of 6 models with a total capacity of 160 to 4200 litres and a useful capacity of 65% of the total.
