The reason behind the name “Custom” Powder.
Our capabilities do not stop at stand-alone equipment;
we are a major provider of integrated “turn-key” custom systems.
How It Works
Tumble blending is a dual-action blending principle. The first blending action is produced by a wave as the material is tumbled. This wave (or shear plane) occurs in the top ¼ of the product load. The second blending action is produced by the cradle orientation. The IBC is held in the blender at an angle to position the IBC horizontal center of gravity 20° from the Blender tumbling centerline. This geometry places the IBC shell walls at cross flow producing angles to the blend axis, acting as baffles as the product is tumbled.
Key Features
- Offsetting the IBC in the blender frame between 20 and 30 degrees causes the powder to change the direction of flow 6 times for every rotation improving both the blending time and consistency.
- No blender clean up required between various recipes
- Low idle time between batches provides increased production
- Pre-batched bins of products quickly loaded into the blender is a great benefit.
